Apple Airplay or Airprint clients use multicast DNS to discover speakers & printers on the network.
mDNS uses the IP address 224.0.0.251, which is "administratively scoped" and does not leave the subnet.
"mdns-repeater" is a multicast DNS repeater for Linux which forwards / repeats mDNS-packets (UDP 5353) between broadcast domains.
This is all based on the great work of:

Wireshark capture
Here you can see the mDNS query of an iPhone in vlan11-guest (192.168.66.103) which discovers an Airplay receiver (Belkin Soundform Connect with Name Neumann KH 120) in vlan1 (192.168.99.122): mdns-repeater debug output (-d) in container

Configuration
- MikroTik hAP AX3 with container enabled (https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Container)
- bridge with vlan-filertering=yes (https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... switchchip)
- vlan1 = default lan with Airplay & Airprint receivers
- vlan11-guest = guest VLAN for guests
- added the container interface (veth-trunk) to the bridge and configured as tagged members (PVID is irrelevant) of vlan1 and vlan11
Code: Select all
### Interface VETH setup for container ###
# Give it any IP address from a space you'll never use
# The interface must have an IP assigned, otherwise the container wouldn't start ;-P

Your clients should now be able to discover printers & speakers but can't connect without allow rules in the firewall:
Code: Select all
