Zeroconf polling

This polling type is supported only for Linux-based distribution points.

A distribution point can poll networks that have devices with IPv6 addresses. In this case, IP ranges are not specified and the distribution point polls the whole network by using zero-configuration networking (referred to as Zeroconf). To start using Zeroconf, you must install the avahi-browse utility on the distribution point.

To enable IPv6 network polling:

1. In the main menu, go to Discovery & deployment → Discovery → IP ranges.
2. Click the Properties button.
3. In the window that opens, switch on the Use Zeroconf to poll IPv6 networks toggle button.

After that, the distribution point starts to poll your network. In this case, the specified IP ranges are ignored.
