This integration provides network configuration for integrations such as [Zeroconf](/integrations/zeroconf/), and is managed by going to **{% my general title="Configuration >> General" %}** .
**{% my general badge %}**
## Auto detection
Auto detection is based on the system routing next hop for the mDNS broadcast address (`224.0.0.251`).
If the next-hop has non-loopback, non-link-local, non-multicast addresses, auto detection will use the interface that corresponds to the next-hop (commonly referred to as the default interface).
If the next-hop cannot be detected or is a loopback address, auto detection will use all interfaces with non-loopback, non-link-local, non-multicast addresses.

Add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
