Disable mDNS responder?

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime
1

Hello,

as has been asked (but unfortunately never answered) before:

Is there a way to disable the internal mDNS responder, so that openhab does not listen to UDP port 5353 any more?

This collides with another mDNS responder on my machine, and I do not necessarily need the openhab announcement, I think.

If the mDNS responder is disabled, I assume that mDNS discovery will still work?

Thanks a lot for your help!

For anyone who has the same problem, it can at least be stopped in the console using

bundle:stop org.openhab.core.io.transport.mdns

I suspect this will also stop the discovery part, though.

Block it through the firewall on the machine on which openhab is running?

Create or override a config file named org.openhab.mdns.cfg with contents enabled=false.
File might exist in one of common locations (look at userdata/etc or runtime/etc).
