SXK80: mDNS not working as intended across VLAN

No resolution whatsoever despite even resetting my network and starting setup and config from scratch. The thought of having to do this once again as another attempt of troubleshooting is exhausting given the amount of time I takes to setup these systems. I’ve had to move certain devices over to another VLAN in order to access and communicate with it successfully. I setup syslog, monitoring the activity, and it appears that rules are attempting to route but nothing happens in actuality. It’s really disappointing this doesn’t work out of box or after reconfiguring considering the cost of this system. I’ve pretty much lost hope of this fixing itself through a software update as well. Sorry I couldn’t have been of any help.

mokeb gumbytron Please provide more information about your network environment, the SXRxx and probably the SXSxx and the mDNS config in place.
_bda_ do you have multiple SXxnn (router and satellite(s)) in your network?
Convinced BruceGuo can assist further here.

- I have 3 satellites.
- 4 VLANs
- Default(1), Network Isolation
- Family(20), Network Isolation
- IoT(30), Client and Network Isolation
- Guest(40), Network Isolation
- The printer is on the Guest VLAN (40)
- I'm wanting to print from the Default and Family VLANs
- 4 policies set up for mDNS
- Printers, Source VLAN = 40, Destination = 20
- Printers, Source VLAN = 20, Destination = 40
- Printers, Source VLAN = 40, Destination = 1
- Printers, Source VLAN = 1, Destination = 20
