With my Aps set to DHCP the Aps are asking for a dhcp address on every vlan that is being scanned. Is it possible to scan with out each ap having to get an IP on each vlan? This is primarily for printing if the type could be changed to assist.

No worries. Glad it all helped.

Brian -

I must have been mistaken or raising the priority on the AP I wanted to use for BDD did the trick.

I am only seeing the one AP getting an address from the vlan DHCP Pools. Thank you for your time and sorry for any confusion I caused.

Hmm. That's a bit of a different scenario. As only one AP should be the "go between" for bonjour gateway and the VLANs. When you say "all", do you actually mean all? Or a large subset but not all?

Since all of like model APs get the same priority value, they base it off of either lowest/highest MAC, so even then only one should have done this. Unless you implemented the APs in stages and as new APs came online, they decided based off of their MAC to take over the BDD roles.

If you SSH into one AP and do a show bonjour status command, does it show a "My BDD with an IP that is another AP?

If you do a show bonjour vlan do you see IPs tied to VLANs as well?

Brian Thank you for the assistance. I am new to Aero Hive. It appears that all of my APs are requesting DHCP from the pool in each vlan. From reading your response, should and is there a way to configure so that only one will act as the BDD?
