Firmware Version: 2.1.2

mDNS is a fundamental part of IoT devices, and the number of devices using mDNS is constantly increasing, making it difficult to use isolated VLANs for IoT. The "mDNS replicate" feature from Omada is really cool, but its implementation is still lacking.

 

I tried to create some Bonjour services for the HomeKit protocol, Matter protocol, Apple Controller (companion link), Aqara, and eWeLink, but the space for mDNS on Omada is full! I haven't even added important mDNS entries for HomeAssistant, Amazon and much more other devices and services.

 

It would be great if Omada allowed us to replicate all mDNS across VLANs, similar to what avahi-daemon does on OpenWrt. But if that's not possible, at least increase the limit for custom mDNS entries.

Hi @vctgomes 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

For the sake of the performance consideration, it may be limited.

The customized Bonjour Service is indeed limited. I am confirming if this is a limitation on the controller or the router. If it is the controller, that should be increased.

But if it is the router, that might be a performance concern.

I am aware of that you can do a lot on the Openwrt but we have much more to consider as the Omada Controller grows. Not so much stuff you see in the Openwrt can be implemented.

I personally use an x86 with AMD CPU to run the Openwrt. You know, the ARM for the routers doesn't really compare with the x86 CPU like that.

Hi Clive_A, thanks for the reply! Hopefully it's a limitation of the controller haha. So, let me know when you know more about it. See ya.
