Automatic IP addressing in Ethernet network is not working

I am new to OMNET++ (version 5.4) simulator and i have been trying to do some tutorials to learn it. Now I am working on doing an example Ethernet connections as in the picture.enter image description here

and I have the following configuration in my ´net.ini´ file 

[General]
# Configurator settings
*.net_configurator.dumpAddresses = true
*.net_configurator.dumpTopology = true
*.net_configurator.dumpLinks = true
*.net_configurator.dumpRoutes = true

# Routing settings
**.networkLayer.configurator.networkConfiguratorModule = ""
*.*.networkLayer.arpType = "GlobalARP"
*.*.routingTable.netmaskRoutes = ""


# Visualizer settings
*.visualizer.interfaceTableVisualizer.displayInterfaceTables = true
*.visualizer.interfaceTableVisualizer.nodeFilter = "not (*switch* or *Switch*  or *AP*)"

[Config Step1]
network = net
description = "Fully automatic IP address assignment"

when I lunch the simulation i don't see any IP assigning . what could be the problem? enter image description here

Solution

  • Change the line:

    **.networkLayer.configurator.networkConfiguratorModule = ""

    into:

    **.networkLayer.configurator.networkConfiguratorModule = "net_configurator"

    Other way is to do:

    1. Change the name of IPv4NetworkConfigurator object to configurator.

    2. Remove the line:

      **.networkLayer.configurator.networkConfiguratorModule = ""
