Function xn_ipcp_want_pool

Sets IP address pool for remote host addresses.

int xn_ipcp_want_pool(int    iface_no, 
                      BYTE * ip_address_min, 
                      BYTE * ip_address_max);

Parameters

iface_no

Interface number returned by xn_attach.

ip_address_min

Minimum address in IP address pool in network byte order.

ip_address_max

Maximum address in IP address pool in network byte order.

return value

Returns 0 if successful, otherwise SOCKET_ERROR. If an error occurred, call xn_getlasterror and xn_geterror_string to return the error value. Section Error Codes further describes each error.

Possible values for this function are:

This function establishes the IPCP IP address pool for assignment to remote hosts.

In order to set up a pool for the remote host (to provide an address if the remote host sends a Configuration-Request with a 0 address), call this routine with the address range of the pool.

Negotiable is always set to TRUE, which forces acceptance of an address requested by the REMOTE host. Calling xn_ipcp_want_address with remote host set to REMOTE_HOST will override this routine.

The default is not to have an address pool.

If this routine and xn_ipcp_want_address (REMOTE_HOST) are not called, the IP addresses specified in xn_attach will be sent to the other side if a message is received requesting these addresses, i.e. if a null address is received. In order to extract the IP addresses negotiated, xn_interface_info can be called after xn_lcp_open.
