DhcpAddressPrinter

DHCP Address Printer

This sketch uses the DHCP extensions to the Ethernet library to get an IP address via DHCP and print the address obtained using an Arduino Ethernet shield.

DHCP is used to assign an IP address when Ethernet.begin(mac) is called. Using DHCP significantly increases the size of a sketch. Using the localIP() function, the assigned IP address is sent out via the Serial Monitor.

Hardware Required

Arduino or Genuino Board
Arduino Ethernet Shield

Circuit

The Ethernet shield allows you to connect a WIZNet Ethernet controller to the Arduino or Genuino boards via the SPI bus. It uses the ICSP header pins and pin 10 as chip select for the SPI connection to the Ethernet controller chip. Later models of the Ethernet shield also have an SD Card on board. Digital pin 4 is used to control the slave select pin on the SD card.

The shield should be connected to a network with an Ethernet cable. You will need to change the network settings in the program to correspond to your network.

Image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page

In the above image, the Arduino or Genuino board would be stacked below the Ethernet shield.
