# SSDP Configuration Parameters

This section describes the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) configuration parameters that enable Coordinator to discover SSDP-enabled Controller servers over the network.

When you enable SSDP in your Controllers, Coordinator can automatically detect the Controllers in your network. This option allows you to find the details for Controllers that you might want to register without having to know all the host and port details.

NOTE: Controller uses SSDP only to allow network discovery requests from your Coordinator. It does not use SSDP for IDOL service discovery on the host.

When SSDP is enabled, Controller broadcasts its location to the network. You might see incoming `GetStatus` action requests for third party services that respond to these broadcasts.
