And nothing different as usual how to assign the addresses to the hosts. To set a static IP address when DHCP is not available (a sort of autoconfiguration without DHCP server), the link-local address range should be used (169.254.0.0/16), described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3927. It sets a random IP in the range and checks with ARP that the address is not already used in the network. However, it is outside the goals of a bootloader ;-) Best regards, Stefano babic -- ===================================================================== DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: +49-8142-66989-0 Fax: +49-8142-66989-80 Email: off...@denx.de ===================================================================== _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
