Method for generating static Internet protocol (IP) address under disk operating system (DOS)

Abstract

A method for generating a static Internet protocol (IP) address under a disk operating system (DOS) is suitable for generating the static IP address in a DOS environment of a computer. The method of the static IP address under the DOS comprises the following steps: defining a retention value; reading last three bytes of a media access control (MAC) address of the computer; when the value of the last byte of the MAC address is equal to the retention value, adding the value of the last three bytes of the MAC address with an interval value so as to serve as the value of the last three bytes of the static IP address; generating the value of the leftmost byte of the static IP address according to an address starting value and writing the generated static IP address in a protocol definition file of the computer. The method of the static IP address under the DOS disclosed in the invention can be executed under the DOS of the computer so that the static IP address which is not in conflict with an Internet protocol and accords with the Internet protocol can be obtained. Compared to the current method, the method of the invention possesses speediness. Therefore, test efficiency can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for generating a static IP address, in particular to a method for generating a static IP address under a DOS environment. Background technique [0002] For computers with Internet access capabilities, manufacturers need to conduct various tests before shipment. However, in the field of production line testing, many tests are limited by the operating system of the computer, so various test items must be carried out under the environment of the Disk Operating System (DOS) of the computer, such as flashing SN (Serial Number) or Burn firmware (firmware, also known as firmware), etc. For tests related to the network environment, the computer also needs to obtain the required data (such as firmware data) from the test server, and needs to send the test results back to the Celsius server for recording and judgment. [0003] At present, there are two main ways to connect the computer to the network in the test: to connect to...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For the production line test environment, the test content under DOS can generally be completed within 10 seconds, but it takes 10 seconds to request the IP, which has a great impact on the entire test efficiency

That is to say, the existing method of obtaining the IP address required for networking is too slow, and drags down the overall test efficiency
