Module Dhcp_client_lwt.Make

Parameters

module Net : Mirage_net.S

Signature

type lease = Dhcp_wire.pkt
type t = lease Lwt_stream.t
val connect : ?renew:bool -> ?xid:Cstruct.uint32 -> ?options:Dhcp_wire.dhcp_option list -> ?requests:Dhcp_wire.option_code list -> Net.t -> t Lwt.t

connect ~renew ~xid ~options ~requests net starts a DHCP client communicating over the network interface net. The client will attempt to get a DHCP lease at least once, and will return any leases obtained in the stream returned by connect. If renew is true, which it is by default, the client will attempt to renew the lease according to the logic in RFC2131. If renew is false, the client will cancel its listener and end the stream once the first lease has been obtained. The options are the DHCP options sent by the client in the DHCP DISCOVER and DHCP REQUEST. The requests will be transmitted as DHCP parameter request also in the DHCP DISCOVER and DHCP REQUEST.
