Zeroconf
Zero configuration networking (zeroconf) is a set of techniques that automatically creates a usable
Internet Protocol (IP) network without manual operator intervention or special configuration
servers.
Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to a
network automatically. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services, such as
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or configure each
computer’s network settings manually, which may be difficult and time-consuming.
Zeroconf is built on three core technologies:
• Assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices (link-local address auto
configuration)
• Automatic resolution and distribution of computer hostnames (multicast DNS)
• Automatic location of network services, such as printing devices through DNS service
discovery.
Click the checkbox to enable Zeroconf.
When the settings are complete, click Save button to save the settings, or click Reset button to
clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
