    IoT VLAN indeed can be annoying. It's getting better as a lot of the more "prosumer" grade routers are supporting it. I use Sonos at home too, which means I had to deploy this into a VM to bridge the VLANs: https://github.com/alsmith/multicast-relay.

    There are some funny (?) things that turn up too, like learning the Roku remote iOS app "discovers" devices by opening a TCP connection to every address in parallel on its local /24 (!!!). It sends out and receives mDNS packets that would tell it exactly where they are, but they are ignored by the app.

    I have removed all firewall rules and set up multi-cast relay (https://github.com/alsmith/multicast-relay) and I can see the printer (a Canon PIXMA G3650) but setup fails from a mac on a separate VLAN. If I set up from same VLAN and print from there all is fine, but as soon as I am on a separate VLAN I cannot either setup or print.

    If you know your way around Linux, you can still install things without docker. Like the multicast-relay OP wants to use is just a python package. So you would just need to install python first with apt-get, the dependencies, and just download the python package and run it.

    From there just setup the firewall rules to not block sonos devices from establishing connections on another vlan follow the instructions at multicast relay github here https://github.com/alsmith/multicast-relay
