Free Bonjour Gateway Software from Aerohive
Aerohive’s Bonjour Gateway is software that runs on your installed VMware infrastructure. It enables management and control of Apple’s “Zero-Configuration Networking” technology, called Bonjour, to advertise services such as AirPrint and AirPlay across multi-subnet networks. Aerohive's Bonjour Gateway software can be installed in up to two virtual machine instances to propagate services across different network locations. A free account on Aerohive's cloud-based management system, HiveManager Online for the Bonjour Gateway, is also included. This instance of HiveManager Online includes a simplified web interface to help administrators configure the services available, filter unwanted services, limit unnecessary traffic, and monitor usage.
