[ts-7000] Default IP when dhcp fails (dhclient or pump) on TS7800

["fulatoro" <>]

I am trying to default to 192.168.0.50 if my board is setup for dhcp
and fails to obtain an IP from the server or is not connected to the
network.  Currently, if the dhcp request fails, I end up not having an
IP address on eth0 and the board is inaccessible except via the
console.  I would like to ensure that when dhcp fails that at least
the IP is configured.

I have tried modifying the the dhclient.conf file such that I have a
default lease:

lease {
 interface "eth0";
 fixed-address 192.168.0.50;
 option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
 option routers 192.168.0.1;
}

This does not produce the desired effect as dhclient pings the router
and see if it would work.  If the unit is not on a network with a
similar subnet, then it would fail.

I have looked at pump briefly but failed to find an appropriate solution.

Moussa.
