Support Request for Bonjour Forwarding

First of all, a big thank you to the entire community for the incredible support you provide every day. Whenever I face a problem, the community has always helped me solve it. So, once again, thank you all!

Now, back to the issue: I have a wired VLAN 30 where my Mac Pros cannot discover the Wi-Fi printers located on another VLAN (WiFi VLAN).

To enable this discovery, should I go to the Firewall section and configure Bonjour Forwarding? Thanks!

How are Wireless clients accessing LAN configured?

I believe Bonjour is not a problem. Can you at least ping the printers?

Check your routing, firewall rules, etc.

Is the SSID not configured with DHCP in NAT mode correct? Can you share the SSID and Firewall settings?

Yes but the bonjour forwarding on the MX (Firewall section)..not on the SSID.

I've had many issues with Bonjour forwarding on the SSID. I tend to disable is, and use only on the MX.

 

I see you've only added Printers and Scanners to the Services list. If you add all the Services, does it then work?

I have separate bonjour services for AFP and Airplay.  I've never tried all services on any rules applied.

And always applied Bonjour forwarding at the MX.
