GS728TXP (S3300-28X-PoE+) EOL Bonjour/mDNS issue
Hi: Recently got a project relate with EOL switch S3300 for mDNS service. It seems mDNS didn't run through uplink to other switches. I googled and found there seems to be a firmware 6.6.4...

Hi ReneD :
Sorry for the delay response.
Yes, I finally solve the issue, it was combination of several parts need to be configured/upgrade.
1.
I did get "official" 6.6.4.29 firmware from NetGear vendor, and upgrade all 10 S3300 to it, but still not passing mDNS.
2.
Checked setting, and configure all S3300 with:
A. Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/IGMP Snooping Configuration:
- IGMP Snooping Status : enable
- Validate IGMP IP header: enable
B. Switchig/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/IGMP Snooping Interface Configuration:
- Enable Admin Mode to all interfaces
C. Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/IGMP Snooping VLAN Configuration
- Enable Admin Mode to target VLAN
D. Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/Multicast Router Configuration
- Enable Admin Mode on the Uplink interface
E. Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping Querier/Querier Configuration
- Enable Querier Admin Mode
- Leave all other default as 0.0.0.0/2/60.125
Also for their core M4300:
A. Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/Configuration/IGMP Snooping Configuration
- Enable Admin Mode
- Enable Validate IGMP IP header
- Enable Proxy Querier Mode
B. Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/Interface Configuration/IGMP Snooping Interface Configuration
- Enable Admin Mode to all interfaces
C. Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/Multicast Router Configuration/Multicast Router Configuration
- Enable Admin Mode for all Edge Switch/Server Interfaces.
D. Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/Querier Configuration/Querier Configuration
- Enable Querier Admin Mode
- Leave all other default as 0.0.0.0/2/60.125
E. Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/Querier VLAN Configuration/IGMP Snooping Querier VLAN Configuration
- Enable Admin Mode on target VLAN
After all these, then all Casting devices connected on edge S3300 switches, their mDNS can be forward to all edges/core and servers/PC connected to edge/core switches.
Appreiciated with the help and effort, this is really an dated bug that just hit the project from nowhere, but now it has a solution and verified working !
Please let me know if more configration I can provide to make it more visible if someone else has similar issue.
Sincerely,
Billy Lee
