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!
