Member Function Documentation

◆ InstallDhcpClient() [1/2]

ApplicationContainer ns3::DhcpHelper::InstallDhcpClient ( NetDeviceContainer netDevices ) const

Parameters

netDevices The NetDevices that the DHCP client will use

Returns: The application container with DHCP client installed

Definition at line 56 of file dhcp-helper.cc.

◆ InstallDhcpClient() [2/2]

ApplicationContainer ns3::DhcpHelper::InstallDhcpClient ( Ptr< NetDevice > netDevice ) const

Install DHCP client of a nodes / NetDevice.

Parameters

netDevice The NetDevice that the DHCP client will use

Returns: The application container with DHCP client installed

◆ InstallDhcpClientPriv()

Ptr< Application > ns3::DhcpHelper::InstallDhcpClientPriv ( Ptr< NetDevice > netDevice ) const

private

Function to install DHCP client on a node.

Parameters

netDevice The NetDevice on which DHCP client application has to be installed

Returns: The pointer to the installed DHCP client

◆ InstallDhcpServer()

ApplicationContainer ns3::DhcpHelper::InstallDhcpServer	(	Ptr< NetDevice >	netDevice,
		Ipv4Address	serverAddr,
		Ipv4Address	poolAddr,
		Ipv4Mask	poolMask,
		Ipv4Address	minAddr,
		Ipv4Address	maxAddr,
		Ipv4Address	gateway = Ipv4Address() )

Install DHCP server of a node / NetDevice.

Note: the server address must be coherent with the pool address, because DHCP relays are not yet supported.

Parameters

netDevice	The NetDevice on which DHCP server application has to be installed
serverAddr	The Ipv4Address of the server
poolAddr	The Ipv4Address (network part) of the allocated pool
poolMask	The mask of the allocated pool
minAddr	The lower bound of the Ipv4Address pool
maxAddr	The upper bound of the Ipv4Address pool
gateway	The Ipv4Address of default gateway (optional)

Returns: The application container with DHCP server installed
