bonjour-reflector and SSDP/mDNS for Sonos/AirPrint #55

Open outofsight opened 5 months ago

outofsight commented 5 months ago

I recently splitted a network in smaller VLANs and I'm facing problems with SONOS S2 system and AirPrint.

From what I understand SONOS uses SSDP multicast and I think I was able to solve most of issues enabling PIM/SM of Mikrotik router.

Printing from iOS devices to HP network printers in another VLAN seems more difficult. Seems that in iOS is not possible to simply add a printer by IP address or dns name. Can this bonjour-reflector help?

If this bonjour-reflector handle also SSDP, it is possible/needed to disable SSDP function of bonjour-reflector already accomplished by Mikrotik PIM/SM?

Thanks and sorry for these trivial questions.

If you do not add the HP network printer as a device in config.toml it will be ignored by bonjour-reflector. And therefor only handled by the mikrotik if you wish

OK, I'll try this way: Sonos handled by Mikrotik (we have several of Sonos devices and we can control also from VPN) and Printer handled by bonjour-reflector.

In some config.toml examples the [vlan] section is missing. Is this section mandatory? How ip are configured if the section is missing?
