mDNS equivalent using PIM

Sun Jan 09, 2022 6:06 pm

Hello! As we know that mDNS repeater is not present in RouterOS. I have seen many forum gurus defending Mikrotik stating that it is not required and can easily be worked around with PIM. I would kindly request them to post a working example with two LANs example: 192.168.0.0/24 and 172.16.10.0/24 and PIM to get the same functionality of mDNS repeater.

It's not possible. mDNS is a link-local multicast protocol and therefore cannot be routed by design. The only workaround is to broadcast it into another network segment using a repeater or similar.
