RE: ECOS:Incorrect default gateway entry - Free BSD


Andrew,
The function do_bootp() in bootp_support.c file sets up routing with
gateway as "255.255.255.255". I'm using that piece of code only for my
DHCP client. Please have a look at the code below. I'm using ecos v2 and
the compiler is mipsisa32-elf-gcc. 
**********************
    // Set up routing
    /* the broadcast address is 255.255.255.255 */
    memset(&addrp->sin_addr, 255, sizeof(addrp->sin_addr));
    memset(&route, 0, sizeof(route));
    memcpy(&route.rt_gateway, addrp, sizeof(*addrp));

    addrp->sin_family = AF_INET;
    addrp->sin_port = 0;
    addrp->sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
    memcpy(&route.rt_dst, addrp, sizeof(*addrp));
    memcpy(&route.rt_genmask, addrp, sizeof(*addrp));

    route.rt_dev = ifr.ifr_name;
    route.rt_flags = RTF_UP|RTF_GATEWAY;
    route.rt_metric = 0;

    if (ioctl(s, SIOCADDRT, &route)) {
        if (errno != EEXIST) {
            perror("SIOCADDRT 3");
            goto out;
        }
    }
********************************

regards,
Alok

This is not a valid host IP address. It is a broadcast address.

Try giving your gateway the IP address 192.168.0.1 and your target
192.168.0.2. Give both a netmask for 255.255.255.0.

                                  ^^

Im supprised you are getting -1 here. Obviously it should be
255. However, i would expect it to be printed correctly. What eCos
sources and gcc are you using?

This looks very strange. Why so many bytes?
