IPv4 Stack Parameters (continued)
UDP Channel Support
KwikNet offers a simplified UDP service for those not familiar with the use of the UDP
sockets API. The KwikNet UDP service uses a UDP channel, an artificial connection for
sending and receiving UDP datagrams (see Chapter 4.1). If you intend to use KwikNet
UDP channel services, check this box. Otherwise, leave this box unchecked.
DHCP Client Support
KwikNet includes a DHCP Client for using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) to derive an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for any of your
network interfaces. The DHCP Client also supports the BOOTP protocol. The DHCP
Client is described in Chapter 4.2. The DHCP Client is provided as a standard feature
with systems that only incorporate IPv4. For dual IPv4/IPv6 systems requiring a DHCP
Client, an alternate, optional DHCP component is available.
If any network interface must use DHCP or BOOTP for IP address acquisition, check this
box. Otherwise, leave this box unchecked.
Auto IP Address Discovery
The optional KwikNet Auto IP component can be used to dynamically establish an IP
address for any of your Ethernet network interfaces. If any Ethernet network interface
must use Auto IP for IP address negotiation, check this box. Otherwise, leave this box
unchecked.
RIP v2 Listener
KwikNet supports the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). If you check this box, KwikNet
will listen for RIP packets and add the routing information which they provide to the
KwikNet routing table. If you do not require RIP support, leave this box unchecked.
PING Replies To
Check this box if you wish
KwikNet to respond to an ICMP ping request addressed to a
broadcast or multicast IP address. Check one of the radio buttons to indicate whether
KwikNet should respond to "broadcast and multicast" or to "multicast only". If all ping
requests to a broadcast or multicast IP address are to be ignored, leave this box
unchecked.
IGMP Support
Check this box if you have the optional
KwikNet IGMP component and wish to include it
in the KwikNet Library.
