Field Documentation

Size of this structure.

Used by Nut/Net to verify, that the structure contents is valid after reading it from non-volatile memory.

Magic cookie.

Contains the device name of the network interface.

Ethernet MAC address.

Unique Ethernet address of the network interface.

Examples:
tcps/tcps.c.

Last used IP address.

Each time Nut/Net receives an IP address during boot, it will store the address in here.

If no fixed IP address has been configured (cdn_cip_addr contains 0.0.0.0) and if no DHCP server is available, then Nut/Net will use this one, if it is not 0.0.0.0.

Examples:
ftpd/ftpserv.c, httpd/httpserv.c, inetq/inetq.c, logtime/logtime.c, and tcps/tcps.c.

Referenced by DiscoveryResponder(), main(), NutDhcpClient(), NutDhcpIfConfig(), NutDiscoveryAnnTele(), NutDiscoveryAppConf(), and NutNetIfSetup().

IP netmask.

The netmask is used to determine which machines are available in the local network.

Examples:
ftpd/ftpserv.c, and httpd/httpserv.c.

Definition at line 141 of file confnet.h.

Referenced by DiscoveryResponder(), main(), NutDhcpClient(), NutDhcpIfConfig(), NutDiscoveryAnnTele(), NutDiscoveryAppConf(), and NutNetIfSetup().

Default route.

Nut/Net will redirect IP packets to this node, if the target IP is not located in the local network.

Examples:
logtime/logtime.c.

Definition at line 148 of file confnet.h.

Referenced by main(), NutDhcpIfConfig(), NutDiscoveryAnnTele(), NutDiscoveryAppConf(), and NutNetIfSetup().

Configured IP address.

If this address is set to 0.0.0.0, Nut/Net will try to obtain one from the DHCP server.
