I dusted off an rb4011 after a while and have custom configured it; still on routerOS v.6.49.19 LTS. The below is how the current configuration looks like (stubbed) and it is restrictive just the way needed. The But I am looking as to how can: 1. a macOS machine (in vlan-id=11) continue to do it'…

I don't use apple devices so I cannot check if mdns is a hard requirement for time machine backups. If you want to have mdns working across vlans newer routeros versions have a setting /ip/dns/set mdns-repeat-ifaces=net1,net2,net3 where net1, net2 and net3 would be your vlans. This makes mdns work…

You need couple of things: An input rule (or rules) accepting traffic to 224.0.0.251, port 5353 for UDP traffic from your consumer vlan A forward rule that allow allowing IP from vlan A to reach IP to VLAN B or specific IP. An example of rules for connecting guest vlan to printer (normally disabl…

I did try similar rules before but those didn't really help. Now I tried the below as with the same result: /ip firewall filter add action=accept chain=input comment=allow-lan-mdns dst-address=224.0.0.251 dst-port=5353 in-interface-list=LAN protocol=udp add action=accept chain=forward comment=all…

[image] optio: Brother “Scan to PC” button not working across VLANs/separate networks on RB5009 — mDNS RouterOS 7.20.8 - #7 by Victor_21 This might not be applicable as the router is still on routerOS v.6. So this won't work with routerOS v.6 since mdns functionality was baked in starting v.…

Unfortunately, this won't work with routerOS v.6 since mdns was baked in starting v.7.xx ?

Yep. It won't work with v6. There were some truly ugly (but clever) hacks before the mdns repeater was added, but they also require v7-only functionality. Apple stuff pretty much really wants/needs mdns, but as I have seen, they work fine once that's available. As for doing it on Mikrotik, only e…

[image] mikesaxl: If there is not a strong reason to stay at routeros 6 I would suggest upgrading to ros 7 (LTS). The solution you linked that uses bridge filters is something I would avoid. You're tying your hands behind your back to do this in V6. The RB4011 should run V7 just fine, and it…

Then your best option is for sure to update to v7 and use mDNS repeater function. I do have this working with apple devices and a brother printer (AirPrint) with no issues across vlans.
