RE: Change IP during run-time (netmask change ...)


thanks for your reply.
When debugging the IP_SetMask(), I can see that the   s u b n e t m a s k
is changed but not the   n e t m a s k  . Why?
This behaviour can be seen as well with the printouts:

It's almost the same for changing netmask, but you got to use a
SIOCSIFNETMASK call to ioctl instead of SIOCSIFADDR

Here is an example procedure I wrote for doing such thing
Parameter interface is a string like "eth0" and and adresse is a sub-netmask
such "255.255.255.0".
It returns 0 if all is right.

Sorry, comments are in French but I hope it helps.


int IP_SetMask(const char* interface,const char * adresse)
{
 int test_sock=0;
 struct sockaddr_in* addr=NULL;
 struct sockaddr * addrp=NULL;
 struct ifreq ifr;

 memset( &ifr, 0, sizeof( struct ifreq ) );
 addrp = (struct sockaddr *)&(ifr.ifr_addr);
 addr= (struct sockaddr_in *)addrp;
 memset(addr, 0, sizeof( struct sockaddr) );
 addr->sin_len=sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
 addr->sin_family=AF_INET;
 addr->sin_addr.s_addr=inet_addr(adresse);

 test_sock = socket( PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0 );
 if( test_sock == -1 )
 {
  diag_printf("Impossible d'obtenir la socket :%s",strerror(errno));
  return (-1);
 }

 strncpy( ifr.ifr_name,interface,IFNAMSIZ);
 if( ioctl( test_sock, SIOCSIFNETMASK, &ifr ) == -1 )
 {
  diag_printf("Impossible de fixer le masque de sous-réseau de '%s' à '%s'
car '%s'",interface,adresse,strerror(errno));
  close(test_sock);
  return (-1);
 }
 diag_printf("Masque de sous-réseau de '%s' fixé à '%s'",interface,adresse);
 close(test_sock);
 return(0);
}
