Define Documentation

#define UIP_FW_NETIF	(	ip1,
		ip2,
		ip3,
		ip4,
		nm1,
		nm2,
		nm3,
		nm4,
		outputfunc		)

Instantiating macro for a uIP network interface.

Example:

 struct uip_fw_netif slipnetif =
   {UIP_FW_NETIF(192,168,76,1, 255,255,255,0, slip_output)};

Parameters:

	ip1,ip2,ip3,ip4	The IP address of the network interface.
	nm1,nm2,nm3,nm4	The netmask of the network interface.
	outputfunc	A pointer to the output function of the network interface.

Definition at line 80 of file uip-fw.h.

#define uip_fw_setipaddr	(	netif,
		addr		)

Set the IP address of a network interface.

Parameters:

	netif	A pointer to the uip_fw_netif structure for the network interface.
	addr	A pointer to an IP address.

Definition at line 95 of file uip-fw.h.

#define uip_fw_setnetmask	(	netif,
		addr		)

Set the netmask of a network interface.

Parameters:

	netif	A pointer to the uip_fw_netif structure for the network interface.
	addr	A pointer to an IP address representing the netmask.

Function Documentation

void uip_fw_default

(

struct uip_fw_netif *

netif

)

Register a default network interface.

All packets that don't go out on any of the other interfaces will be routed to the default interface.

Parameters:

netif

A pointer to the network interface that is to be registered.

Referenced by main().

u8_t uip_fw_forward

(

void

)

Forward an IP packet in the uip_buf buffer.

Returns:

UIP_FW_FORWARDED if the packet was forwarded, UIP_FW_LOCAL if the packet should be processed locally.

u8_t uip_fw_output

(

void

)

Output an IP packet on the correct network interface.

The IP packet should be present in the uip_buf buffer and its length in the global uip_len variable.

Return values:

	UIP_FW_ZEROLEN	Indicates that a zero-length packet transmission was attempted and that no packet was sent.
	UIP_FW_NOROUTE	No suitable network interface could be found for the outbound packet, and the packet was not sent.

Returns:

The return value from the actual network interface output function is passed unmodified as a return value.

void uip_fw_register

(

struct uip_fw_netif *

netif

)

Register a network interface with the forwarding module.

Parameters:

netif

A pointer to the network interface that is to be registered.
