mDNS Repeater
 | 
						|
-------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Starting with VyOS 1.2 a `Multicast DNS`_ (mDNS) repeater functionality is
 | 
						|
provided.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Multicast DNS uses the 224.0.0.51 address, which is "administratively scoped"
 | 
						|
and does not leave the subnet. It re-broadcast mDNS packets from one interface
 | 
						|
to other interfaces. This enables support for e.g. Apple Airplay devices across
 | 
						|
multiple VLANs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To enable mDNS repeater you need to configure at least two interfaces. To re-
 | 
						|
broadcast all mDNS packets from `eth0` to `eth1` and vice versa run:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: sh
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  set service mdns repeater interface eth0
 | 
						|
  set service mdns repeater interface eth1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
mDNS repeater can be temporarily disabled without deleting the service using
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: sh
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  set service mdns repeater disable
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. note:: You can not run this in a VRRP setup, if multiple mDNS repeaters
 | 
						|
   are launched in a subnet you will experience the mDNS packet storm death!
