1.2.1.3.19 TCPIP_DHCP_RequestTimeoutSet Function

bool TCPIP_DHCP_RequestTimeoutSet(
    TCPIP_NET_HANDLE hNet, 
    uint16_t initTmo, 
    uint16_t dhcpBaseTmo
);

This function allows the run time adjustment of the DHCP time-out values. It specifies for how long the client has to wait for a valid DHCP server reply during the initialization process until acquisition of the host address is considered to have failed. It also sets the DHCP base timeout for DHCP transactions with the server. This is automatically incremented by the DHCP client using an exponential back-off algorithm. Recommended value is 2 <= dhcpBaseTmo <= 64 seconds.

The DHCP module must be initialized.

• True - If successful.

• False - If a wrong interface handle or time-out value was provided.

None.
