mDNS / Bonjour not working

Hello Community,

I have a Netgear PR460X router with 3 M4250-26G4F-PoE+ daisy chained on 10gSFP. I have 5 VLANs : 1(MGMT and device traffic), 20(testing(, 25(Guest Network), 100(SIP Phones), 200(Cobranet Audio)

I am not getting any mDNS traffic between switches and the router.
The router is configured as the mDNS Gateway and the switches all have IGMP and Multicast enabled.

The ports are all tagged properly and working just not multicast on VLAN1 (the only one I need it on)

Anyone else have this issue?

YeZ any idea from your team on this?

Probably more a subject for the Hardware VPN Firewalls And Business Routers section to discuss the setup and operation of Insight VPN Small Business Routers & NETGEAR VPN Hardware Firewalls, so requesting a moderator to move it accordingly.

Hi schumaku ,

We are working on your query, and keep you posted.

Need some more info on your below statement.

just not multicast on VLAN1 (the only one I need it on)

- You mean issue is observed over onlyVLAN1?.

- Did you see mDNS query packets from Switch?

Thanks,

Nivedita

We tested similar settings in lab, mDNS traffic worked as expected between Pro Router and AV switch. Please make sure that ports between Router and Switch are trunk ports including all VLANs than you want mDNS traffic sources and destinations, then VLAN1 will see mDNS from all VLANs when PR460X mDNS gateway is enabled.
