CC3200: Some information need to be known

Manish_Thakur

Part Number: CC3200

Hi Experts,

How we can get the details (IP address/MAC/device name) of other clients (like PC/laptop/mobile phones) within the same Access Point to which the CC3200 is connected.

Can you let me know if there is any way to do this using CC3200? Actually, we have requirements on that from the customer side so this is a very critical issue, as per my knowledge we can use MDNS to get the details. Can anyone provide me proper knowledge about this issue?

Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Manish,

    For such task there is no universal solution to be functional at all types network clients. This is not question related to CC32xx itself, but to how wired/wireless Ethernet works.

    For discovering clients are used zero-conf protocols. There is no single one protocol natively supported by all platforms.

    • mDNS works natively with iPhone and macOS well; mDNS is natively supported by CC32xx
    • LLMNR supported by Windows (you will need implement by yourself)
    • Android does not support natively mDNS or LLMNR

    If you need universal solution, you can implement your own discovery protocol. But you will need to create app for every supported platform.

    Hi Manish,

    Sorry I don't undestnad your question.

    You can use mDNS to discovery CC3200 devices and devices with support mDNS (e.g. iPhone). With mDNS you will not be able discovery Windows and Android devices. mDNS example you find at CC3200 SDK.

    And thanks for your this statement "With mDNS you will not be able discovery Windows and Android devices."

    Hi Manish,

    SDK CC3200 example "mdns" contains both features - advertise and listen as well.
