DHCP fallback address

Question

We configured our ConnectME/ConnectME-9210 to retrieve an network address from an external DHCP server. When the server is not available, we want the module to have a fixed IP address. Where/how can we define this fallback address?

Answer 1

I have done something similar to this in our application.


All you have to do to enable the FTP server and have a config file. Check the assigned IP address and if that's ok otherwise just reassign the IP from the config file.

Hint:

u32 lIpAddress, u32 lSubMask, u32 lGatewayAddr

//Get current configuration setting
code = customizeIamGetIfconfig("eth0", &ifConfig);

//Set current configuration setting
customizeSaveIPParameters(lIpAddress, lSubMask, lGatewayAddr);
