DNS instead of mDNS on cc3200d

Hi,

DNS is supported. Please see the documentation for sl_NetAppDnsGetHostByName().

Hi victor,

I am using this method, but the protocol it's using is mDNS. I would like to use DNS (unicast instead of multicast).
Do you know how to configure this method to use DNS (or use another method)?

Thanks for the quick replay.

Hi,

This method is for DNS, not mDNS. Please see the documentation for the usage:

Hi victor,

After some checkup I have this conclusions:

I am using sl_NetAppDnsGetHostByName when trying to connect to some server, but when sniffing the AP (using wireshark) I get this:

As you see it says the protocol is mDNS.

Am I doing something wrong? Or maybe the DNS fails, for some reason, and the fall back is mDNS?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

mDNS is a built-in function of CC3100/CC3200. mDNS packets are expected. The packets in your packet capture belong to these.

However, the API sl_NetAppDnsGetHostByName() will perform DNS query instead of mDNS. If you run the Getting_Started_with_Wlan_Station SDK example, you'll see the regular DNS query packets tyring to resolve the address "www.ti.com" with port number 53.
