Getting the RJ45 port to accept DHCP from network

[Paqman87]

Hello,
I've flashed v0.2.4 to my hamgeek e310 with fishball7020 and my LibreSDR with the Libresdr version onto the SD cards respectively. I've created a basic config.txt and placed it in the root of the SD card as well. I'm trying to simply get these SDRs onto my network and having them serve openwebrx+.

Neither of them will obtain an IP address using these lines only in the config.txt.

[NETWORK]
ipaddr_eth=0.0.0.0
netmask_eth=255.255.255.0
gateway_eth=0.0.0.0

I can connect using a serial connection in putty and force a manual request for an IP address which does work. Using: udhcpc -i eth0 &

I'd also like to be able to plug in the SDR using the OTG directly to a computer for use with SDR applications off the network.

Thank you in advance for any advice getting this configured.

Just to note - it's rather not the case of "Accepting DHCP" since the board should have DHCP client implemented. In other case it is limited to static. I must admit I'm not sure why it would be of a value to have DHCP client on such SDR. Since it's simple development device its critical to know it's IP - easiest way is to assign static one.

In my case I have 3 devices within the lab network, I control devices via the router and switch so others can access via ssh etc. I believe I've found a solution to my own issue which I will post for the benifit of others. Apparently you can force a MAC address too which is excellent. Place theese lines into the config.txt

[NETWORK]
# USB OTG (Virtual Ethernet to PC)
hostname=libresdr-tezuka
ipaddr=192.168.2.1
netmask=255.255.255.0

[USB_ETHERNET]
# Physical RJ45 Port
# Setting to 0.0.0.0 enables DHCP
ipaddr_eth=0.0.0.0
netmask_eth=255.255.255.0
gateway_eth=0.0.0.0
