void RegisterNetworkConfigurationAgent(object path)
|
||||
|
||||
Register the agent for handling IPv4 and IPv6
|
||||
configuration setting. This method and its
|
||||
corresponding unregister method are only supported
|
||||
if network configuration is enabled: see
|
||||
EnableNetworkConfiguration in iwd.config(5) and
|
||||
NetworkConfigurationEnabled in
|
||||
net.connman.iwd.Daemon.GetInfo in daemon-api.txt.
|
||||
|
||||
During a station-mode, AP-mode or P2P connection, IWD
|
||||
will obtain the IP configuration values for a network
|
||||
interface, either automatically from a remote server
|
||||
(DHCP or otherwise), generate it or read it from a
|
||||
settings file. If no network configuration agent is
|
||||
present, IWD immediately writes (commits) those
|
||||
values to the corresponding interface, the routing
|
||||
table and communicates them to the resolver. If such
|
||||
agent is registered, IWD requests the agent to do
|
||||
this last step.
|
||||
|
||||
Connection success is not signalled until the agent
|
||||
method has returned. The agent may also be invoked
|
||||
during the connection lifetime whenever the IP
|
||||
configuration changes and after a roam. The agent
|
||||
object must have the NetworkConfigurationAgent
|
||||
interface.

|

Methods void Release() [noreply]
|
||||
|
||||
This method gets called when the service daemon
|
||||
unregisters the agent. An agent can use it to do
|
||||
cleanup tasks. There is no need to unregister the
|
||||
agent, because when this method gets called it has
|
||||
already been unregistered.
|
||||
|
||||
void ConfigureIPv4(object device, string interface, dict config)
|
||||
|
||||
This method gets called during a connection setup
|
||||
when a new set of IPv4 configuration values is to
|
||||
be written to a network interface. The connection
|
||||
is aborted if the method call returns an error or
|
||||
times out. The 'config' dictionary (a{sv}) maps
|
||||
string keys to values of types defined per key.
|
||||
|
||||
The following key/value pairs are used, but more
|
||||
may be added in future versions.
|
||||
|
||||
string Method - Indicates whether the local address
|
||||
was set statically (value "static") or obtained
|
||||
automatically such as through DHCP (value "auto").
|
||||
Even when the address was obtained from the remote
|
||||
end some configuration bits, such as DNS addresses,
|
||||
may have been overridden locally.
|
||||
|
||||
string Address - Local IP address string.
|
||||
|
||||
byte PrefixLength - Holds the prefix-length of the
|
||||
local subnet. For IPv4 this maps to the netmask.
|
||||
|
||||
string Gateway [optional] - Local subnet's gateway
|
||||
address if one exists.
|
||||
|
||||
array(string) DomainNameServers [optional] - Holds
|
||||
the list of DNS addresses configured if any exist.
|
||||
|
||||
array(string) DomainNames [optional] - Holds the
|
||||
network's local domain names if any exist.
|
||||
|
||||
Possible Errors: net.connman.iwd.Agent.Error.Canceled
|
||||
|
||||
void ConfigureIPv6(object device, string interface, dict config)
|
||||
|
||||
Same as ConfigureIPv4 above but for IPv6.
|
||||
|
||||
void Cancel(object device, string interface,
|
||||
string reason) [noreply]
|
||||
|
||||
This method gets called to indicate that the connection
|
||||
request failed before a reply was returned. The
|
||||
argument will indicate why the request is being
|
||||
cancelled and may be "out-of-range", "user-canceled",
|
||||
"timed-out" or "shutdown".
