I configured ssid "bitraf24" to have WLAN ID 3 (disable the old one, rename it, and create a new one), and now I can see a lot more services in Controller, mDNS, "mDNS Browser". So that is something. Still nothing in "Domain Names". And still not able to reach Prusa 3D printer via mdns name. Tingo (diskusjon) 26. okt. 2021 kl. 17:36 (CEST)

the description for Bug ID CSCuv80668 is interesting: "Multicast traffic not forwarded when WLAN ID is an even number". Tingo (diskusjon) 26. okt. 2021 kl. 16:45 (CEST)

We (Loopback and I) spent some hours trying to fix the problem with mdns services not being broadcast through the wireless network. mdns works fine for devices on the wired network, but devices connected only via wireless can't see or broadcast mdns. The configuration on the wlc is correct, according to Cisco documentation. All places where a mdns or multicast item should be set it is set, but still mdns doesn't work through the wireless network.
