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 lorix-one-
and the last 6 characters of the MAC address lowercase: lorix-one-xxxxxx
. This means that you can reach your gateway with the domain name lorix-one-xxxxxx.local
Example
The gateway MAC address shown on the sticker is FC:C2:3D:AA:BB:CC
The hostname is therefore lorix-one-aabbcc
You can reach the gateway at lorix-one-aabbcc.local
(e.g. ping lorix-one-aabbcc.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.
