[Barrelfish-users] Networking - configuring static ip

[Patrik Eklöf]

Well, this actually looks similar to my own solution.
Given no response, I took it upon myself to see if I could change the code to configure it to have static IP. Given the patch, I can see that what I did was probably correct.

Thanks for trying. Since circumstances have changed, I have to see if I still need this or not.

Hi,

Sorry for a late reply.  Unfortunately the current public version does
not support easily using static IP address. We have added a code to
support static configuration of NIC but it is still not in main tree
yet.  We are working on merging this code and hopefully we will be
able to release it soon.  In meanwhile, only way to get static IP
configuration working is by modifying the function "startlwip" in
"usr/netd/lwipinit.c".  I have attached a patch with this email which
will configure the interface statically.  This patch should work on
current Barrelfish release tree, and it should be able to hard-code
given static IP settings and work without DHCP.  We plan to release
more generic static IP configuration code in next few releases.

I hope this helps.
