      Dear all pfsense experts,

      I'm using pfSense 2.8.0-RELEASE, and I have multiple VLANs under my LAN.

      The problem is that I can’t discover printers or IoT devices across VLANs.
      If I connect to the same VLAN as the printers, everything shows up just fine. But from other VLANs, the printers and devices are not visible.

      I believe pfSense does not allow multicast (like mDNS) between VLANs by default.

      Can anyone with good pfSense knowledge help me set it up so I can discover printers across different VLANs?

        Look here for a possible answer, or suggestion, as it was posted a couple of lines lower (3 days ago) :
        mDNS or Multicast Traffice Not Passing Between Multiple Vlans.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
