Several methods to resolve storage service hosts CDRouter Storage allows a test engineer to execute various storage protocol tests against a storage-enabled device. In order for CDRouter to know the IP address of the storage service to be tested, it must either be told with an explicit IP address, or be given a DNS or NetBIOS name, or discover it using multicast DNS (disabled by default, with instructions to enable it included below).
