Need help with Bonjour Gateway Setup

[marco_eichstet1]

Hello,

i need some help with a Bonjour Gateway Setup.

:::Environment:::
I have two Sites. Site A and Site B. Both are connected over a VPN Tunnel. My ZoneDirector 1200 is in Site A.
On my HP ProCurve Switches i have on both Sites VLAN 1 (DEFAULT VLAN), 11, 12 and 13 configured.
VLAN 1 is where my cabled Devices (Clients/Server/Printer) are located.
VLAN 13 is the Management Network for my ZD and APs.
VLAN 11 is for my wireless Devices.
VLAN 12 is my wireless Guest Network.
Ruckus APs and ZD are untagged within VLAN 13. VLAN 11 and 12 ist tagged on my Switch Ports connected with an AP.
Apple Printer connected with VLAN 1
Mac Books Air connected with VLAN 11

:::Problem/Goal:::
If i connect my Mac Book Air over Ethernet i am able to see all my Printer.
If i connect to wireless i don't see anything. I want to get this work over wireless, too.

:::What i have tried:::
I enabled "Bonjour Gateway" on AP Site (not ZD Site, because Printer and Clients are located on Site B). I created a Policy with Service "AirPrint" with "from VLAN" 1 and "to VLAN" 11. After that i reconfigured one of my APs on Site B to use this Bonjour Gateway Policy and added VLAN 1 tagged the the Switch Port where my AP is connected.

Unfortunatelly this did not solve my issue.
Do i missed something?

Thanks!

Kind Regards
Marco

Hello Marco,

I would recommend you the same setup mentioned by Michael Brado. Bonjour gateway really works well when you have both sides on tagged vlan. If you put your AP, ZD on VLAN 1 and the clients on tagged vlans (11, 12 and 13) inlcuding air printer, they will see the air printer in a much better way. The query and response for the service from air printer in response to your MBA (mac book air) will be efficient.

Hope this helps. 
Ahamed.

Hi,

thanks for your feedback Ahamed.
You wrote the query and response will be more efficient if i only work with tagged vlan.
Like i wrote it is a huge change and effort to change all my Clients on both Sites from VLAN 1 to 13.

So my main question is still if my setup can work if i put all my APs and ZD to VLAN 1 and create following Bonjour Gateway Rule:


If this works but maybe less efficient i will give it a try.
Thanks!

No Marco, it is recommended to put your Apple servers and printers on any Tagged VLAN, that is *not* VLAN 1.

Hi Marco,

Suggestion is to be on tagged vlan. Put your Apple server on VLAN 11 or 12 and then check if the clients sees them in ease. The reason for clients to find the server on wired laptop easily was the same vlan1. May be you can create a new tagged vlan (eg.,15) and connect your clients without disturbing your current network.

Ahamed.
