GC108P with IoT VLAN
I am trying to separate IoT devices (Sonos, iRobot, Nest, etc.) into a separate VLAN but still discover and access them from a trusted VLAN. Does the GC108P support Bonjour / Multicast forwarding by itself or does that require a separate firewall / router.

The GC108P supports Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping which allows a switch to forward multicast traffic intelligently. Kindly read pages 168-182 of the GC108P user manual here about IGMP snooping.
You can also manage the Bonjour settings on the GC108P. Kindly read pages 79-80 of the GC108P user manual here.Regards,

Thanks for the response.
Pages 79-80 seems to refer to Bonjour in relation only to being able to discover the IP address of the switch itself, whereas, I am inquiring whether or not Bonjour will work across VLANs. By default Bonjour only works within the same subnet. Specifically I would like to get AirPlay to work across VLANs (i.e. Apple devices can Airplay to devices in the IoT VLAN).
