DHCP client

DHCP client

[Coenraad Jacobsz]

Hi everyone

Is there anyone who has implemented a DHCP client for 8xx successfully?
If so, could you point us in the right direction please.

A search for DHCP on the MontaVista site came up with "No documents
match...", but there are other sources e.g. the www.isc.org site, or
maybe Red Hat's 'pump'  However, that may require substantial
modification...

Any help appreciated

Thanks,
Coenraad

We tried the ISC implementation (version 2.0) of the client.
It compiled and executed successfully on our '850 board (BSE
IP) with very little effort. We are using the Monta Vista
CDK 1.0 development environment.

The bulk of the effort was involved with providing
persistent storage of the lease data required by DHCP in our
flash.

The client seems to work well...I also use it on my laptop,
and I've used it at several customer sites to configure my
laptop for their network without any problems.

pump is included in version 1.2 of our CDK:
