[lwip-users] web server connection gateway (ColdFire MCF5282 + FreeRTOS)

[Francois Bouchard]

Hi all,

This is my first post, and i'm new to lwIP.  I'm trying to port a FreeRTOS demo that includes lwIP 1.3.0 on the ColdFire architecture.  The goal, at least for now, is to program a simple web server, but later on we'll need to include SNMP.  I'm confused about the gateway address.   Here are my questions:  do I even need a gateway when connecting my board directly to the PC using crosswird utp rj-45 network cable? 

 

Can I program Lwip not to use a gateway? 

 

Or if I connect the board to my compagny network, is the gateway is the proxy server?

 

In the demo project, netif_add() adds 10.0.10.1 as the gateway address, and 10.0.10.2 as the IP address.

 

Thanks you,

 

Francois
