Configuration Example for Local Mode - Wireless and Wired

Overview

This chapter provides configuration guidelines to implement Wide Area Bonjour enabling end-to-end policy-based mDNS service discovery and distribution across multilayer wired and wireless local mode. The first hop mDNS gateway at Layer 2 access switch and the controller must be implemented in service peer mode and paired with LAN and wireless distribution-layer switch in SDG agent role. The network-wide distributed SDG agent must be paired with the Cisco Catalyst Center to enable mDNS service-routing across IP core network based on multiple services and network attributes.

The following figure illustrates unicast mode bonjour network environment with AirPrint capable printer and user computer (macOS, Microsoft Windows, etc.) connected to same Ethernet switch. The computers and mobile devices of the wireless user are associated to wireless AP in local mode across multi-hop IP boundary from printers.

Configuring Wireless AP Multicast Mode

This procedure configures wireless AP multicast on the controller for local mode APs and IP network.

The controller must be configured with unique IP multicast address for wireless AP in local mode to permit mDNS communication across wired and wireless networks.

Step

Controller Service Peer Configuration

Step-1

Enable global IP Multicast on Cisco Catalyst 9800 series controller.

Verifying Cisco Catalyst Center Configuration and Service-Routing Status

The Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application supports comprehensive assurance capabilities to manage service-routing with network-wide distributed Cisco Catalyst switches in SDG-Agent role and mDNS services discovered over Wide Area Bonjour domain. The assurance capabilities in Cisco Wide Area Bonjour provides ability to determine service-routing state, mDNS service state and many more information at various levels for day-2 operations, analysis and troubleshooting. Each category serves unique function to manage and troubleshoot Wide Area Bonjour service-routing for day-2 operation.

This sub-section provides brief overview for each category of monitor function:

  • Dashboard: The landing page of Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application provides key statistics in various formats to quickly determine service-routing health across the network. The network administrator can monitor operational status of service-routing with SDG Agent devices, historical chart of service discovery request, processing and drops from network-wide distributed devices and top five talkers across the network.

  • Sub-Domain 360°: The network administrator can briefly collect statistics and status counts in 360° view. The left-panel monitoring, and configuration bar is automatically open upon clicking selected sub-domain to verify configured policies, discovered service-instances on per sub domain basis of the configuration section.

  • Monitor: A comprehensive 3-tier monitoring and troubleshooting function of Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application for various day-2 operations. The detail view of SDG Agent, Service-Instance and advanced Troubleshooting capabilities allows network administrator to manage and troubleshoot Wide Area Bonjour domain with single of glass on Cisco Catalyst Center.

For more information, see Cisco Wide Area Bonjour on Cisco Catalyst Center User Guide, Release 2.1.2 guide. The assurance capabilities and operation details are explained in Monitor the Cisco Wide Area Bonjour Application chapter to manage Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application with various supporting service-routing assurance function.
