stm32h563 Azure RTOS Netx Multihome Support

Eren Akyol 0

Hello, I have created and executed a TCP server project with Azure NetX library using Ethernet. Additionally, I need multihome support in this project. I want multiple clients to connect to a device with a single IP. Can you assist me with this?

status = _nx_ip_interface_attach(&ip_0, "port_2", IP_ADDRESS(0, 0, 0,0), 0xFFFFFF00UL, my_netx_driver);

Function is not working. You can look at the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/rtos/netx/netx-dhcp-client/chapter2

Best regards, Eren Akyol

Hi @Eren Akyol Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Thank you for posting this question here.

I am checking to see if you have looked into the sample demo_netx_duo_multihome_udp.c which provides details implementing the functionality. It would be helpful if you can share any specific errors you are facing with the implementation so that the community members and SMEs can better guide you overcome this issue.

First of all, thank @LeelaRajeshSayana-MSFT for your return

In the example I shared above, I simply add the "nx_ip_interface_attach" function to the running code and see the rejection variable that is the result of this function as NX_SUCCESS.
So the code does not hang in while(1). However, no connection can be established on the TCP Client side. When I do not add this function, I can connect with TCP Client.
What can be the problem?
