mDNS responder
Overview
This application will wait mDNS queries for a pre-defined hostname and
respond to them. The default hostname is zephyr and it is set in the
prj.conf file.
Requirements
avahi or similar mDNS capable application that is able to query mDNS information.
Building and Running
Build and run the mdns-responder sample application like this:
west build -b <board to use> samples/net/mdns_responder -- -DCONF_FILE=<config file to use>
After the mdns-responder sample application is started, it will await queries from the network.
Open a terminal window in your host and type:
$ avahi-resolve -4 -n zephyr.local
If the query is successful, then following information is printed:
zephyr.local 192.0.2.1
For a IPv6 query, type this:
$ avahi-resolve -6 -n zephyr.local
If the query is successful, then following information is printed:
zephyr.local 2001:db8::1
Lastly, resolve services using DNS Service Discovery:
$ avahi-browse -t -r _zephyr._tcp
If the query is successful, then the following information is printed:
+ zeth IPv6 zephyr _zephyr._tcp local
= zeth IPv6 zephyr _zephyr._tcp local
hostname = [zephyr.local]
address = [192.0.2.1]
port = [4242]
txt = []
Wi-Fi
The IPv4 Wi-Fi support can be enabled in the sample with Wi-Fi snippet.
