Function Documentation

void dhcp_arp_reply ( struct netif netif,
struct ip_addr *  addr 
)

Match an ARP reply with the offered IP address.

if enabled, check whether the offered IP address is not in use, using ARP

Parameters:
netifthe network interface on which the reply was received
addrThe IP address we received a reply from

Definition at line 709 of file tag/7/Core/lwIP/core/dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_bind ( struct netif netif ) [static]

Bind the interface to the offered IP address.

Parameters:
netifnetwork interface to bind to the offered address

Definition at line 839 of file tag/7/Core/lwIP/core/dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_check ( struct netif netif ) [static]

Checks if the offered IP address is already in use.

It does so by sending an ARP request for the offered address and entering CHECKING state. If no ARP reply is received within a small interval, the address is assumed to be free for use by us.

Parameters:
netifthe netif under DHCP control

Definition at line 188 of file tag/7/Core/lwIP/core/dhcp.c.

void dhcp_coarse_tmr ( void   )

The DHCP timer that checks for lease renewal/rebind timeouts.

to be called every minute

Definition at line 312 of file tag/7/Core/lwIP/core/dhcp.c.

static err_t dhcp_create_request ( struct netif netif ) [static]

Create a DHCP request, fill in common headers.

Parameters:
netifthe netif under DHCP control

default global transaction identifier starting value (easy to match with a packet analyser). We simply increment for each new request. Predefine DHCP_GLOBAL_XID to a better value or a function call to generate one at runtime, any supporting function prototypes can be defined in DHCP_GLOBAL_XID_HEADER

Definition at line 1362 of file tag/7/Core/lwIP/core/dhcp.c.

static err_t dhcp_decline ( struct netif netif ) [static]

Decline an offered lease.

Tell the DHCP server we do not accept the offered address. One reason to decline the lease is when we find out the address is already in use by another host (through ARP).

Parameters:
netifthe netif under DHCP control

static void dhcp_handle_nak ( struct netif netif ) [static]

Back-off the DHCP client (because of a received NAK response).

Back-off the DHCP client because of a received NAK. Receiving a NAK means the client asked for something non-sensible, for example when it tries to renew a lease obtained on another network.

We clear any existing set IP address and restart DHCP negotiation afresh (as per RFC2131 3.2.3).

Definition at line 650 of file tag/7/Core/lwIP/core/dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_option_trailer ( struct dhcp *  dhcp ) [static]

err_t dhcp_start ( struct netif netif )

Start DHCP negotiation for a network interface.

start DHCP configuration

If no DHCP client instance was attached to this interface, a new client is created first. If a DHCP client instance was already present, it restarts negotiation.

Parameters:
netifThe lwIP network interface
Returns:
lwIP error code
  • ERR_OK - No error
  • ERR_MEM - Out of memory

static void dhcp_timeout ( struct netif netif ) [static]

A DHCP negotiation transaction, or ARP request, has timed out.

The timer that was started with the DHCP or ARP request has timed out, indicating no response was received in time.

Parameters:
netifthe netif under DHCP control

Definition at line 378 of file tag/7/Core/lwIP/core/dhcp.c.

static err_t dhcp_unfold_reply ( struct dhcp *  dhcp ) [static]

Extract the DHCP message and the DHCP options.

Extract the DHCP message and the DHCP options, each into a contiguous piece of memory. As a DHCP message is variable sized by its options, and also allows overriding some fields for options, the easy approach is to first unfold the options into a conitguous piece of memory, and use that further on.

copy the DHCP message without options

copy the DHCP options
