RE: MAC Machines | Bonjour Protocol | OT

Thank you all for your reply,

So what can be done in order to make these MAC hosts communicate
together across VLANs ?

Is there any official website saying that they cannot work ?

My client needs it and is not stopping asking me about it :)

Help guys

Thank you
Samer

I'm also not aware that this can work with multicast routing. You also
have an issue with IGMP Snooping as it doesn't do IGMP, so on a switch
where this is enabled it will not work.
