Are there any limits on the Bonjour Gateway

We are looking at using the Bonjour Gateway in our environment to provide access to our wired Apple TVs from our wireless clients.

Currently we have SSIDs setup for each device and the wireless clients connect to the SSID for each Apple TV if they need to connect to it (this puts them in the same VLAN).

 

Using the Bonjour Gateway I think we should be able to remove all the AppleTV specific SSIDs and just forward the Bonjour traffic to the wireless users VLAN.

 

We'd use the Bonjour Realm to limit access to Apple TVs to specific APs. E.g. Only clients connected to the three APs in our lecture theatre would be able to see/connect to the Apple TV in the Lecture Theatre. This is important as we have over 40 devices now and this will probably grow.

 

I've reviewed the following documentation: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Bonjour-Gateway-Set-Up

and still unsure if there are any limits (hard limits or sensible/practical limits) on the number of rules to create in a bonjour gateway. We're looking at possibly 80+ rules and want to make sure this doesn't have a negative impact.

 

Can anyone advise if there are any limits on the number of rules in a Bonjour gateway and/or if anyone has some advice from doing something similar with Bonjour gateway and restricting to realms.

There is a limit on the bonjour gateway rule list, we can only have up to 16 rules.
