NAME

llmnr - Link-local multicast name resolution
SYNOPSIS
llmnr [ifn1 [ifn2]]
llmnrx [ifn] [on | off]

 

DESCRIPTION
Command llmnr sets the interface numbers ifn1 and ifn2 between which multicast name resolution packets are to be propagated. This feature allows hosts on one network to discover hosts on another network.

Command llmnrx sets multicast reply on or off for the specified interface. This allows hosts to resolve special names such as nat32, nat32.local, nat32.box, nat32.win and nat32.vpn.

NOTES
Various Microsoft® systems use LLMNR to resolve names on a network. NAT32 can propagate such packets from one interface to another, thereby allowing devices on one network to discover (and use) services available on another network.

In all cases, NAT32 uses information gleaned from LLMNR packets to populate entries in its Network Neighborhood Table.
