Dear Community! For IoT devices I need to be able to route mDNS broadcast traffic through VLANs. I saw that this is only currently possible with an external server (or maybe a MetaRouter with OpenWRT, but unfortunately my router - RB4011 - doesn’t support MetaRouter yet). Not a big problem, I alr…

So the progress is: Chromecast devices work fully on my main network. Guest network does not seem to work, even with mDNS reflection. On Guest network everything is blocked except WAN traffic. As soon as I enable the vlan_guest network to access everything, devices appear. I don’t know what I ne…

[/quote] Well, you might be right, so I would try this. You mean to allow traffic only to that device? But: It was the input chain rule which caused Chromecast devices to appear. So I added a rule to the input chain, not forward which allows access to the whole network from guest network. T…

It seems that on a new device even on my private vlan the Chromecasts won’t work. On my private vlan everything is accessible and for debugging purposes now everything is also allowed from the IoT network, but still I can’t get this to work. I have downloaded a Bonjour Browser which lists the mDNS…

Sorry I spaced post those filters rules… I will try to get at it when I get home. That is strange the new device cannot work. What is the igmp all for?

Sorry I spaced post those filters rules… I will try to get at it when I get home. That is strange the new device cannot work. What is the igmp all for? It seems that some device don’t just use mDNS but also IGMP to discover devices. Even Chromecast for Chrome mentions that IGMP is also neede…

Ok I might have found the problem and maybe someone could help me with a correct avahi reflector config IGMP forwarding is really needed, though looking at Wireshark a simple IGMP Proxy setup is enough, no need to mess with PIM. The problem seems to be with avahi-reflector, but I don’t know what i…

Finally solved this! So from Mikrotik perspective, everything was set up properly. You might need IGMP proxy for some devices, but no need for PIM (some suggested that IGMP is not enough, even though every guide says it uses IGMP), just a simple IGMP-Proxy setup will do. I have switched from avahi…

Thank you. I too never gave it a thought that avahi wasn’t working as expected because of the devices showing up and only groups missing. Thought it was a google screw up. I’ve switch myself and a mate to mdns-repeater and both are now fully working. Thanks again. Chris

seems there is progress what may simplifies the usage of Docker

said in v7.1rc3 adds Docker (TM) compatible container support

by the way are you aware of mDNS repeater feature wherein the same thing is discussed?
