Deploy Wide Area Bonjour on Traditional Networks

About Wide Area Bonjour on Traditional Networks

Cisco DNA Service for Bonjour supports various types of traditional wired and wireless LAN network deployment models. This chapter lists configuration instructions to implement global service filter policies in the Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application, enabling network-wide service-routing functions between various supporting deployment models.

Traditional LAN and Wireless Local Mode

This section provides guidelines to create a global configuration policy that enables Wide Area Bonjour within a traditional LAN, providing Bonjour services (such as wired printers) to wireless users connected over wireless networks with Cisco Wireless Access Points in local mode.

The following figure illustrates example network topologies for traditional LAN and wireless local-mode networks with Bonjour source and receiver agents across IP networks.

Click the plus icon to add more service-peers (192.0.2.4). Select Any to accept services from any peer on a selected VLAN.

Step 19

For Location Group, do one of the following:

  • To accept services from any location group, check the check box.
  • To accept services from location group 0, choose Default from the drop-down list.
  • To use a custom location group ID, choose Custom from the drop-down list and enter the location group ID. The valid range is from 1 to 4096.

Traditional Routed Access LAN

This section provides step-by-step global configuration policy guidelines to enable Wide Area Bonjour between devices on Routed Access LAN networks, providing Bonjour services (such as wired printers) to remotely connected wired users and wireless users.

The following figure illustrates a reference network topology for Routed Access LAN networks with Bonjour source and receiver devices across IP networks.

Note

Use the configuration steps described in this section for Cisco Nexus switches.

For more information about the Cisco Nexus switches configuration guidelines, see the Cisco DNA Service For Bonjour Configuration Guide, Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS, Release 10.2(3)F.


Configure Service Filters for Traditional Routed Access LAN

This section lists the general steps to implement global service filters, which permit the Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application to dynamically discover and distribute service information between trusted SDG agent switches across your IP network.

Procedure


Step 1

Navigate to the Configuration tab in the Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application.

Step 2

From the sidebar, select the subdomain for which you want to create the service filter.

Step 3

Ensure that the Service Filter box is checked.

Step 4

Click the service filter icon from the topology to view a list of the service filters for the selected domain.

You can also manually edit existing service filters from this list.

Step 5

Click Create Service Filter.

Step 6

From the Network Mode drop-down list, choose Traditional (the default mode).

Step 7

Enter a unique name for the service filter.

Step 8

(Optional) Enter a description for the service filter.

Step 9

Select one or more service types to permit announcements and queries.

Step 10

Enable or disable service filters after creating them. By default, they are enabled.


Configure Source SDG Agents in Traditional Routed Access LAN

This section lists guidelines for additional configuration steps to enable discovering wired printer sources from LAN switch-1 in an SDG agent role. The wired printer can be discovered by remotely connected wired users from LAN switch-2.

A unidirectional service filter allows network-wide service discovery for operation and management purposes. However, it can't be distributed across the IP network unless you configure a query SDG agent. For steps to configure a query SDG agent, see Configure Query SDG Agents in Traditional Routed Access LAN.

Before you begin

Ensure that you've completed the steps in Configure Service Filters for Traditional Routed Access LAN.

Procedure


Step 1

Click Add in the upper-right corner of the window.

Step 2

Click the radio button to select a source SDG agent. By default, the source radio button is selected.

Step 3

From the SDG Agent/IP drop-down list, choose an SDG agent (10.0.0.1) that announces the services (printer).

Step 4

From the Service Layer drop-down list, choose Local.

Step 5

Uncheck the Any check box. By default, this check box is unchecked.

Step 6

Select the source VLAN (Vlan-A) to discover services (Printer) from a specific network.

Step 7

Enable or disable a service from a selected source IPv4 subnet. By default, this is enabled.

Step 8

Enable or disable a service from a selected source IPv6 subnet. By default, this is enabled.

Step 9

For Location Group, do one of the following:

  • To accept services from any location group, check the check box.
  • To accept services from location group 0, choose Default from the drop-down list.
  • To use a custom location group ID, choose Custom from the drop-down list and enter the location group ID. The valid range is from 1 to 4096.
Step 10

(Optional) Click Add Next to add more source SDG agents. (Repeat the preceding steps.)

Step 11

Configure Query SDG Agents in Traditional Routed Access LAN

This section lists the additional configuration steps to distribute services to query SDG agents, based on a policy.

For instructions to configure a source SDG agent, see Configure Source SDG Agents in Traditional Routed Access LAN.

Before you begin

Ensure that you've completed the steps in Configure Service Filters for Traditional Routed Access LAN.

Procedure


Step 1

Click Add in the upper-right corner of the window.

Step 2

Click the radio button to select a query SDG agent. By default, the source radio button is selected.

Step 3

From the SDG Agent/IP drop-down list, choose an SDG agent (192.0.2.3) that receives queries for the services (printer).

Step 4

From the Service Layer drop-down list, choose Local.

Step 5

Ensure that the Any check box is unchecked. By default, this is enabled.

Step 6

Select the query VLAN (Vlan-B) to distribute services (printer) to a specific network.

Step 7

Enable or disable services from the selected query IPv4 subnet. By default, this is enabled.

Step 8

Enable or disable services from the selected query IPv6 subnet. By default, this is enabled.

Step 9

For Location Group, do one of the following:

  • To accept services from any location group, check the check box.
  • To accept services from location group 0, choose Default from the drop-down list.
  • To use a custom location group ID, choose Custom from the drop-down list and enter the location group ID. The valid range is from 1 to 4096.
