Hi developers!
Is there a chance to install a DHCP server on a rtnet host? This server should assign an IP to the point-to-point-connected client. I can't use TDMA config because the client doesn't support it and I don't care for any mirco seconds in determinism.
Just remind that the RTnet stack runs in the real-time domain, thus every incoming indeterministic packet can influence the latency of other real-time threads. If there aren't any, then I don't understand why you want to use RTnet.
My Idea was to setup rtnetproxy with dhcpd listening on linux rtproxy - but there saems to be an routing problem. (rtnet is compiled with RTNET_NETWORK_ROUTING)
All devices are running (ifconfig/rtifconfig) and routes (rtroute/route) are set but I cant route rt traffic with destination 255.255.255.255 (DHCP request) to the DHCP server...
Does anybody know if there is a chance to get this working? Thanks, Alexander
The problem is the rtnetproxy has been developed to forward packets of unsupported transport protocols like TCP, but not to forward UDP packets for unoccupied ports. However, I think to remember that there has been some patch on this list which added also this feature. You should try to search the archive for rtnetproxy-related discussions.
