Ethernet IP Address Definition (continued)
Runtime Configuration
This parameter is used to select one of the several possible methods for dynamically
deriving the network IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for your network.
Choose the method from the pull down list.
Select None if these parameters are to established according to the definitions which you
have entered into the fields on this property page.
Select DHCP if the network interface is to use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
to derive an IP address, subnet mask and gateway definition for the network. To use this
option, there must be a DHCP server located on this network.
The DHCP (reboot) option is identical to the DHCP option except that the DHCP
initialization sequence always starts in the REBOOT state when the interface is opened,
allowing the DHCP server to assign the same IP address to your network after it has been
down briefly.
If you select DHCP or DHCP (reboot), be sure to configure your KwikNet Library to include
the KwikNet DHCP Client. To do so, check the box labeled "DHCP Client support" on the
IPv4 property page. Failure to do so will result in a compilation error when you attempt
to compile your KwikNet Library. The error will inform you that your library does not
include the DHCP Client.
Select BOOTP if the network interface is to use the older BOOT Protocol to derive an IP
address, subnet mask and gateway definition for the network. To use this option, there
must be a BOOTP server located on this network.
Select Auto IP if the network interface is to use the optional KwikNet Auto IP component
to derive an IP address for the network. The subnet mask will be set to 255.255.0.0 and
the default gateway will be set according to the definitions which you have entered on
this property page.
If you select Auto IP, be sure to configure your KwikNet Library to include Auto IP
support. To do so, check the box labeled
"Auto IP address discovery" on the IPv4 property
page. Failure to do so will result in a compilation error when you attempt to compile
your
KwikNet Library. The error will inform you that your library does not include
support for Auto IP.
