Done, although with tiny changes (one callback for all addresses returned, changed define names)

Done
Tried to follow the same actions as for DNS so the code is homogeneous.

Requires an external function: ntp_setserver(), prototyped and explained in dhcp.c

See patch_dhcp.zip

(file #31583)

This patch stores NTP server addresses in a local DHCP struct.
I think we should follow the same operations as for DNS servers:

  • The DHCP server gets the offered servers and calls sntp_addserver() for each one.
    • Pros: the DHCP module does not need to know about SNTP of the amount of memory for servers, it just calls the add function.
    • Cons: the dhcp module must know the prototype for this function and sntp.c is not part of the lwIP tree
  • The SNTP module provides a new sntp_addserver() function, similar to the current DNS module function.
  • Pros: SNTP_MAX_SERVERS is an SNTP module macro instead of NTP_MAX_SERVERS a DHCP module macro.


I can do the changes based on the OP uploaded patch, and submit a new patch, if you guys agree.

Hello Claudius ! :)

Please use unified diff, with "diff -Nu", diff without context are useless.

And please use the bug tracker file upload feature so the patch is not damaged while converted to HTML.

I added support for the NTP Server option in the DHCP request.

It is enabled if USE_DHCP_NTP is set to 1 in the config file. It requests up to NTP_MAX_SERVERS (default: 2) IP addresses for NTP servers. It does not support host names yet.

(Below is a diff of the original source tree () and my version. I have changed more than just NTP support and removed the other changes from the diff file as far as possible (Not so in opt.h, to not change line numbers))
