Airport utility device comes up as .local?

[metsjetsfan]

When i goto airport utility one of my ios devices shows up as iphone.local, does anyone know what the .local means?

That's the network identity it has on your local network. If you had a Macbook Pro named MBP, it would be accessed by other computers on your local network at: MBP.local.
