DHCP failure discovery - mcb2300

I wonder if there is any way to get information about failed dhcp process?
I need to start dhcp, and if it's not succeeded, disable dhcp and use a default local ip (case of a direct connect to a pc).
I understand, that i can monitor local ip, but is there a better way?
Also when dhcp is not succesful, the mcb2300_debug complains that retransmit timeout is too big.

Thanks,
Gennady

  • After 30 seconds, DHCP client is restarted.

    Maybe you can check this restart somehow and allow the DHCP client to try for only x*30 seconds? After that you could disable the DHCP client and set your own fixed IP.
    I don't know this specific client so I don't really know what I'm talking about anyway :-)

    I don't suppose you have the source code of the client?
