Cisco Wide Area Bonjour Application Overview
Cisco DNA Center supports rich network controller functions, automation, and assurance capabilities for enterprise networks. The Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application is an add-on service that enables controller functions to support mDNS service routing across multiple network deployment models. Cisco DNA Center, in controller mode, builds stateful service routing peer sessions with network-wide distributed SDG agents. It dynamically discovers mDNS services and distributes to other SDG agents. IT-defined and global policies in the Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application define mDNS service routing.
The Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application provides an intuitive GUI to build, manage, and troubleshoot network-wide service routing peers, global policies, service instances, and more. As a service routing controller, the Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application supports policy management to enable service routing and rich service-assurance capabilities for management and troubleshooting.
