Hi, I’ve seen posts that BomeBox works fine over VLAN it the switch is set up correctly. See this post.
Here are some tips:
• Standard IP Packets: The BomeBox uses standard Ethernet and standard IP/UDP packets for its network MIDI communication, meaning it does not conflict with professional AV protocols like Dante, AES67, or AVB/MILAN running on the same hardware.
• Broadcast Domains & VLANs: For automatic device discovery and communication between BomeBoxes or computers via Bome Network, the devices must share the same broadcast domain (or have proper VLAN trunking / multicast/broadcast pass-through configured on the Luminex switch).
• Switch Group Settings: If you are using Luminex GigaCore switches, make sure your ports are assigned to the appropriate Groups (VLAN equivalents) so that the BomeBox traffic can communicate with your target devices or computers without being isolated.
Again, VLAN is a function of the switch and not individual devices so if it works on a non-managed switch but not a managed switch then there is something wrong with the switch setup.
