# mDNS example
2017-01-04 11:54:07 -05:00
Shows how to use mDNS to advertise lookup services and hosts
2017-12-07 08:21:40 -05:00
## Example workflow
- mDNS is initialized with host name and instance name defined through `make menuconfig` and `_http._tcp` service is added to be advertised
- WiFi STA is started and trying to connect to the access point defined through `make menuconfig`
- The system event handler is used to pass the network events to mDNS so the service is aware when the interface comes up or down
- GPIO0 (BOOT Button) is initialized as pulled-up input that can be monitored for button press
- Example task is started to check if the button is pressed so it can execute the mDNS queries defined

### Configure the project
2017-12-07 08:21:40 -05:00
2018-10-12 10:45:52 -04:00
```
make menuconfig
```
* Set `Default serial port` under `Serial flasher config` .
* Set `WiFi SSID` and `WiFi Password` for the board to connect to AP.
* Set `mDNS Hostname` as host name prefix for the device and its instance name in `mDNS Instance Name`
* Disable `Resolve test services` to prevent the example from querying defined names/services on startup (cause warnings in example logs, as illustrated below)
### Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
```
make -j4 flash monitor
```
- Wait for WiFi to connect to your access point

- You can now ping the device at `[board-hostname].local` , where `[board-hostname]` is preconfigured hostname, `esp32-mdns` by default.
2018-10-12 10:45:52 -04:00
- You can also browse for `_http._tcp` on the same network to find the advertised service
- Pressing the BOOT button will start querying the local network for the predefined in `check_button` hosts and services
2019-01-25 14:24:30 -05:00
- Note that for purpose of CI tests, configuration options of `RESOLVE_TEST_SERVICES` and `MDNS_ADD_MAC_TO_HOSTNAME` are available, but disabled by default. If enabled, then the hostname suffix of last 3 bytes from device MAC address is added, e.g. `esp32-mdns-80FFFF` , and a query for test service is issued.

(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
