Set static ip if not obtained from DHCP (script)
I work on embedded device with linux on it. I want to use DHCP client first, but if there will be no answer from DHCP Server I want to set static-default IP. I suppose it shouldn't be complicated, but I haven't found strict answer. I'm thinking about 2 solutions (Unfortunately I can test them in few days): I set static IP with ifconfig, then I call udhcpc. If udhcpc will not obtain new IP, old one will stay. I can also first call udhcpc, wait a while and check if IP is obtained. But this is not nice for me. I wouldn't like to add any wait routines into startup. BR Bartek I use udhcpc -
