Local DNS announcements

mDNS

The gateway will announce itself through the mDNS protocol (aka Zeroconf, Bonjour) with its default hostname on the `.local` domain.

The default hostname is composed of the prefix gw and the alphanumeric characters of the serial number (XXX-XX-XX ) in lowercase. This means that you can reach your gateway with the domain name gwxxxxxxx.local

Example

The gateway serial number shown on the sticker is 150-L0-V3
The hostname is therefore gw150l0v3

You can reach the gateway at gw150l0v3.local  (e.g. ping gw150l0v3.local)

Tip

To contact the gateway through mDNS, your network must support this feature (with IGMP snooping disabled) and you must be on the same sub-network than the gateway.
