AirPrint and WAX610s with muliple VLANs
I'm having some issues getting AirPrint Multicast to full propagate in mixed wired and WIFI access. The indications are an iPads and iPhones not seeing the printer name in the list when queried. ...
A little bit of networking 1-2-3 ...
Each VLAN does represent it's own logical network.
Typically, one does operate dedicated IP subnetworks on each network.
The reason for having multiple VLANs is to have dedicated networks.
If you want to reach another subnet / VLAN, the technical basic answer is routing.
AirPrint and the likes are designed for a single network. Means the device and the printer must be in the same subnet.
The same applies to AirPrint and the related Bonjour based discovery, which is built on Multicast.
Multicast is used for functions like discovery or service availability, not for transporting data like printable stuff (for example) from a client to another device like a printer.
What does bring you to the impression that either the WAX610 or your security appliance should allow such a configuration - which can't be fully fRFC compliant and inherits certain security risks btw.?
