Overview

The following information provides an example for configuring Bonjour gateway.

Prerequisites

The following information applies to Comware 7-based access controllers. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the H3C access controllers.

The configuration examples were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge of Bonjour gateway.

Example: Configuring Bonjour gateway

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, Apple TV, Printer, iPad 1, and iPad 2 access the WLAN through service templates with SSIDs apple_tv, printer, student, and teacher, respectively. Apple TV, Printer, iPad 1, and iPad 2 belong to VLANs 3, 4, 10, and 20, respectively.

Configure Bonjour gateway to ensure that iPad 2 can request the services of both Apple TV and Printer and that iPad 1 can request only the service of Printer.

Prerequisites

Make sure the network devices can reach each other.

Procedures

Configuring IP addresses

# Specify an IP address for the AC. (Details not shown.)

# Configure the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to clients and specify the AC's IP address as the gateway address. (Details not shown.)

 

NOTE: You must specify a DNS server address on the DHCP server because of iOS restrictions.

 

Configuring the AC

1.     Click the Network View tab at the bottom of the page.

2.     From the navigation pane, select Wireless Configuration > Wireless Networks.

a.     Click the Add button .

b.     Specify both the service template name and SSID as teacher.

c.     Set the default VLAN ID to 20.

d.     Set the authentication type to Static Key (PSK) and specify a password.

3.     Repeat the previous steps to create service templates student, apple_tv, and printer. Table 1 displays required configurations of each service template.

Table 1 Service template configuration

Service template name	SSID	Default VLAN	Authentication type	Password
student	student	10	Not required. This example uses Open (No Authentication).	Not required.
apple_tv	apple_tv	3	Static Key (PSK)	Required.
printer	printer	4	Static Key (PSK)	Required.
