{{short description|Technologies foroff automatic network connection configuration}}

'''Zero-configuration networking''' ('''zeroconf''') is a set of technologies that automatically creates a usable [[computer network]] based on the [[Internet Protocol Suite]] (TCP/IP) when computers or network peripherals are interconnected. It does not require manual operator intervention or special configuration servers. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up [[network service]]s, such as [[Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol]] (DHCP) and [[Domain Name System]] (DNS), or configure each computer's network settings manually.
