Configuring Bonjour

Cisco 220 Series Smart Plus Switches Administration Guide Release 1.0.0.x
This chapter provides information for configuring discovery, and includes the
following topics:
• Configuring Bonjour
• LLDP and CDP
• Configuring LLDP
• Configuring CDP
As a Bonjour client, the switch periodically broadcasts Bonjour Discovery protocol
packets to directly-connected IP subnet(s), advertising its existence and the
services that it provides, for example; HTTP, HTTPS, or Telnet.
The switch can be discovered by a network management system or other third-
party applications. By default, Bonjour is enabled on the Management VLAN. The
Bonjour console automatically detects the switch and displays it.
Bonjour Discovery can only be enabled globally. It cannot be enabled on a per-
port or per-VLAN basis. The switch advertises all the services that have been
enabled by the administrator based on the configuration on the TCP/UDP Services
page.
When Bonjour Discovery is disabled, the switch stops any service type
advertisements and does not respond to requests for service from network
management applications.
By default, Bonjour is enabled on all interfaces that are members of the
Management VLAN.
