Piero,
In my Ethernet driver, I've done the following to allow an attempt at DHCP
with a fallback to a static IP.
int dhcpFallbackTimer = GetmSTimer() + 5000;
// 5 seconds
while( ! netif_is_up( netif_default ) )
{
// Waiting for fallback
if( (int) GetmSTimer() - dhcpFallbackTimer >
0 )
{
struct ip_addr sn_mask,
gw_addr;
netif_set_down(
netif_default );
netif_set_addr(
netif_default, &ip, &netmask, &gateway ); //
Fallback address
netif_set_up( netif_default
);
break;
}
}
The fallback address is something the user can configure, but it starts out
as a 169.254 address with the last 2 bytes formed from the MAC address (so
the installer knows what the fallback address is).
Hope this helps,
Bill

Subject: Re: [lwip-users] fixed IP and DCHP on the same net interface?
i found a solution... but i "forced" stack implementation guidelines...
I did a post to lwip_dev with this idea... because i need a feedback... here
a copy.

Hi all.
I found a solution for my problem, but i need community feedback.
The problem is:
I have my ip board, and i need to simplify the installer work.
So, in a business LAN with a DHCP server, the idea is to have FW which
starts, as default, with DHCP client enabled, get an IP to himself, and the
installer can read the IP using
'ping <nomeHOST>' (i used code found in forum for NBNS.. very good code!!!
Thanks Alain!)
After this, a professional installer could decide tho disable DHCP client
and use a fixed IP, through our SW which changes IP board setting.
Ok... but the problem happens if the installer put the board in a small LAN
without DHCP or try to connect it directly to his pc using eth cable.
In this case i need a fixed IP.
I tried to use a net interface with fixed IP, and after start DHCP client...
in my company LAN DHCP server doesn't answer (or routers block broadcast
packet with src IP different than 0.0.0.0)
So, my solution, is:
- create TWO interfaces on the same HW, one with fixed IP and one with DHCP
on and ip = 0.0.0.0
- i changed code in ethernetif scheleton, in function ethernetif_input() in
this way:
...
switch (htons(ethhdr->type)) {
#if PPPOE_SUPPORT
/* PPPoE packet? */
case ETHTYPE_PPPOEDISC:
// not implemented additional code
case ETHTYPE_PPPOE:
// not implemented additional code
#endif /* PPPOE_SUPPORT */
/* IP or ARP packet? */
case ETHTYPE_ARP:
/* test*/
// create a copy of pbuf for each netif. ONLY for ARP packet
for( netifCurr = netifLocal; netifCurr != NULL; netifCurr =
netifCurr->next )
{
ptemp = pbuf_alloc(PBUF_RAW, p->tot_len, PBUF_POOL);
if (ptemp != NULL)
{
#if ETH_PAD_SIZE
pbuf_header(ptemp, -ETH_PAD_SIZE); // drop the padding word
#endif
pbuf_copy(ptemp, p);
// full packet send to tcpip_thread to process
if (netifCurr->input(ptemp, netifCurr)!=ERR_OK)
{
LWIP_DEBUGF(NETIF_DEBUG, ("ethernetif_input: ARP input error\n"));
pbuf_free(ptemp);
ptemp = NULL;
}
}
}
pbuf_free(p); // free original pbuf
break;
//
case ETHTYPE_IP:
/* full packet send to tcpip_thread to process */
// if there are multiple interface on the same emac hw, send to first
interface
// ip layer will route packets to correct netif
if (netifLocal->input(p, netifLocal)!=ERR_OK)
{
LWIP_DEBUGF(NETIF_DEBUG, ("ethernetif_input: IP input error\n"));
pbuf_free(p);
p = NULL;
}
ret = TRUE;
break;
default:
pbuf_free(p);
p = NULL;
break;
}
return(ret);
...
so.. now i duplicate ARP packets and send a copy of each interface, and use
always the first interface for IP packet, because IP layer route packet
between interfaces
In this way, until board gets IP from DHCP, it answers using fixed IP, after
it answers using dynamic IP
Any comment??

The real question is: do you really want to do that? what if you connect 2
cameras, what happens? plus the problem on another message...
IMHO, this would work better:
try DHCP for some time, withou any ip, then use autoip...

Hi all
I tested a network camera, which seems work in this way:
it has a DHCP client inside, which starts on power on. But until an IP from
DHCP server is available, it answers on fixed ip (i.e. 192.168.1.3)
Can i do the same using lwip?
I tried to bring up an interface with fixed IP and after start DHCP, but it
doesn't work: i didn't receive a new ip address from DHCP server.
I saw DHCP traffic using wireshark: in normal situation, DHCP client sends
packet from 0.0.0.0 to broadcast, and the server answers, in my situation i
have DHCP request from 192.168.1.3 to broadcast...
i suppose this could be the problem
Any idea??
Thanks,
Piero
