This chapter provides information for configuring Discovery.
It includes the following topics:

Configuring Bonjour Discovery
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. The switch can be discovered by a network
management system or other third-party applications. By default, Bonjour is
enabled and runs on the Management VLAN. The Bonjour console automatically
detects the device and displays it.
Bonjour Discovery can only be enabled globally, and not on a per-port or per-
VLAN basis. The switch advertises the services enabled by the administrator.
When Bonjour Discovery and IGMP are both enabled, the IP Multicast address of
Bonjour is displayed on the IP Multicast Group Address Page.
When Bonjour Discovery is disabled, the switch stops service type
advertisements and does not respond to requests for service from network
management applications.
To globally enable Bonjour:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Discovery - Bonjour. The Discovery - Bonjour Page
opens.
STEP 2 Select Enable to enable Bonjour Discovery globally on the switch.
