Discovery—Bonjour

Cisco WAP571/E Administration Guide

Bonjour enables the AP and its services to be discovered by using multicast DNS 
(mDNS). Bonjour advertises services to the network and answers queries for the 
service types that it supports, simplifying network configuration in small business 
environments.

The AP advertises these service types:

•

Cisco-specific device description (csco-sb)—This service enables clients 
to discover Cisco WAP devices and other products deployed in business 
networks.

•

Management user interfaces—This service identifies the management 
interfaces available on the WAP device (HTTP, HTTPS and SNMP). 

When a Bonjour-enabled WAP device is attached to a network, any Bonjour client 
can discover and get access to the configuration utility without prior configuration.

A system administrator can use an installed Internet Explorer plug-in to discover 
the WAP device. The web-based configuration utility shows up as a tab in the 
browser.

Bonjour works in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Bonjour is enabled by default. 

To change the administrative status:

Select Administration > Discovery - Bonjour in the navigation pane.

Click Enable to enable Bonjour or clear Enable to disable Bonjour.

Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.

The wireless packet capture feature enables capturing and storing packets 
received and transmitted by the WAP device. The captured packets can then be 
analyzed by a network protocol analyzer, for troubleshooting or performance 
optimization. There are two methods of packet capture:
