Abstract
A first access point is included in a first VLAN but not included in a second VLAN. The first access point is operatively coupled to a second access point that is included in the second VLAN but not included in the first VLAN. The second VLAN includes a multicast domain name system (mDNS) service that is not multicast to the first VLAN. The first access point is configured to receive an mDNS request for the mDNS service from a client device that is operatively coupled to the first VLAN. The first access point is configured to send, to the second access point, an encapsulated mDNS request that is based on the mDNS request from the client device such that a connection is established between the client device and a network device providing the mDNS service within the second VLAN.
