Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for using Zero Configuration Networking (ZeroConf) to automate the discovery of the Internet Protocol (IP) network address of a remote access controller (RAC). A RAC service associated with a networking device is registered programmatically or as a result of receiving user input to a command line interface. Available services that include the registered RAC service are browsed, followed by resolving the registered RAC service to an IP address, which is then discovered. The discovered IP address is then displayed within a user interface (UI) window.
