Insight Cloud Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Access Point Model WAX620 Enable the multicast DNS gateway and add a policy After you enable the multicast DNS (mDNS) gateway and add a policy, the access point can automatically discover devices and services that can be shared. The policy forms a bridge between the following two VLANs: • Service VLAN: The VLAN that includes shared devices or services as members. For example, the type of shared device can be printer, in which case the service VLAN is the VLAN of which the printer is a member. Or, the type of shared service can be Googlecast, in which case the service VLAN is the VLAN of which the Googlecast device is a member. • VLANs on allowed WiFi networks: The VLAN that includes as members the WiFi devices that must be able to use the shared devices or service on the service VLAN. You can add up to eight policies. A policy enables access to a shared device or service. A WiFi client can access a shared device or service if the access point to which the client is connected has a policy configured for the shared device of service. To enable the multicast DNS gateway and add a policy: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection. 2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. A login window displays. If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser security warning on page 43. 3. Enter the access point user name and password. The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name and password are case-sensitive. If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and managed the access point through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 25. The Dashboard page displays. 4. Select Management > Configuration > mDNS Gateway. The mDNS Gateway page displays. 5. Select the mDNS Gateway Enable radio button. By default, the mDNS gateway is disabled and the Disable radio button is selected.
