Strange behavior in RTCS ipcfg.c when using LWDNS

Hello,

I've been working on using DHCP to automatically configure a K60 using a TWR-K60 + TWR-SER development setup.

The OS is MQX 3.7. I tried using the code below:

error = ipcfg_bind_dhcp_wait(IPCFG_default_enet_device, 0, NULL);

This was followed by checking the error for the result, and printing out the resulting ip information

using the same code that's in the Security_Network.c file (lines 98-101).

The scenario was this:

I plugged in the TWR-SER board to an isolated switch connected only to a DHCP server. The configuration worked, and I was able to see the correct IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS address. The lease time on the DHCP server was set to 5 minutes. After about 1 minute, I plugged the TWR-SER board into another network with a different DHCP server. The lease was renewed after a few minutes, and I was able to see the correct IP, Gateway, and NetMask, but the DNS server address was the same as before.

After digging through some of the RTCS code, I found the relevant section called during a renew of the DHCP lease, starting at line 949 in ipcfg.c, and it looks like (with RTCSCFG_ENABLE_LWDNS set) the only update to the DNS address happens by:

ipcfg_data[device].dns = ntohl (optptr);

The global LWDNS_server_ipaddr is never updated when the lease is renewed. Is there any reason for this? I added the following line:

ipcfg_add_dns_ip (device, ipcfg_data[device].dns);

This seems to do the trick, the DNS address is now included in the new DHCP lease.

I probably should have posted this in the MQX RTCS forum... Can a moderator move the post?

Hi Travis,

Have you resolved this issue?

This might be helpful for someone. Before binding dhcp, use the following to make sure the network link is ready:

//wait for the network to be ready

while (ipcfg_task_poll() == FALSE);

//next bind dhcp

I had the same problem that after wireless had been disconnected I was unable to get correct DNS address. This thread was helpful but my problem finally was solved by code mentioned above.
