Building and Running
********************

There are multiple ways to use this application. One of the most common
usage scenario is to run echo-server application inside QEMU. This is
described in :ref:`networking_with_qemu`.

Build net-mgmt socket sample application like this:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/net/sockets/net_mgmt
   :board: <board to use>
   :conf: <config file to use>
   :goals: build
   :compact:

Example building for the native_sim board:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/net/sockets/net_mgmt
   :host-os: unix
   :board: native_sim
   :conf: prj.conf
   :goals: run
