Code: Select allwifi.sta.setip({ip="192.168.18.119",netmask="255.255.255.0",gateway="192.168.18.1"})

This ability to assign a static ip is working perfectly.
When a server is given a fixed ip on a local wifi network it makes it very easy for clients on the local network to connect to the server.

Thank you for this feature..

Thank you Zeroday, for that and for all of the rest of the Lua development, too. Works beautifully!

Firstly, I want to highlight that the api documentation on github regarding this feature is wrong.

Here, you've said that the syntax is:

wifi.sta.setip({ip="192.168.18.119",netmask="255.255.255.0",gateway="192.168.18.1"})

while in github, it's documented as:

cfg = { "ip":"192.168.0.111", "netmask":"255.255.255.0", "gateway":"192.168.0.1" }
wifi.sta.setip(cfg)

The github version syntax throws up an error, while the syntax in this post seems to be accepted ok and it seems to be processed by Lua and I am able to read back the values I've set.

However, it doesn't seem to be actually working for me. I'm trying to test this at work on our VPN and if I let our routers DHCP assign an IP, I can access my web-server but when I set a static IP that has been assigned, it doesn't work. I can see I've apparently got an IP from wifi.sta.status() and wifi.sta.getip().

Before I hassle our IT department, I just want to confirm that:

a) This feature is actually working and implemented in full
b) I've got the syntax and the config right (see below)

I'm using the following to configure:

Code: Select all>print(wifi.sta.getip())
172.17.5.5   255.255.252.0   172.17.4.2
> wifi.sta.disconnect()
> wifi.sta.setip({ip="172.17.4.135",netmask="255.255.252.0",gateway="172.17.4.2"})
> wifi.sta.connect()
> print(wifi.sta.getip())
172.17.4.135   255.255.252.0   172.17.4.2
>


172.17.5.5 is the IP i get when I let the routers assign it for me
172.17.4.135 is the static IP I've had IT allocate for exclusive use by me for testing

Is there something I'm missing here?
