Enabling Service Advertising
The Legrand PDU advertises all enabled services that are reachable using the IP network. This feature uses
DNS-SD (Domain Name System-Service Discovery) and MDNS (Multicast DNS). The advertised services
are discovered by clients that have implemented DNS-SD and MDNS.
The advertised services include the following:
HTTP
HTTPS
Telnet
SSH
Modbus
json-rpc
SNMP
By default, this feature is enabled.
Enabling this feature also enables Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) and/or MDNS, which are
required for resolving APIPA host names. See
APIPA and Link-Local Addressing
(on page 16).
The service advertisement feature supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
If you have set a preferred host name for IPv4 and/or IPv6, that host name can be used as the zero
configuration .local host name, that is,
<preferred_host_name>.local
, where <preferred_host_name> is the
preferred host name you have specified for Legrand PDU. The IPv4 host name is the first priority. If an IPv4
host name is not available, then use the IPv6 host name.
Note: For information on configuring IPv4 and/or IPv6 network settings, see
Wired Network Settings
(on
page 141).

1. Choose Device Settings > Network Services > Service Advertising.
2. To enable the service advertising, select either or both checkboxes.
To advertise via MDNS, select the Multicast DNS checkbox.
