Detailed Description

EFI_DNS6_CONFIG_DATA

Field Documentation

UINT32 EFI_DNS6_CONFIG_DATA::DnsServerCount

Count of the DNS servers. When used with GetModeData(), this field is the count of originally configured servers when Configure() was called for this instance. When used with Configure() this is the count of caller-supplied servers. If the DnsServerListCount is zero, the DNS server configuration will be retrieved from DHCP server automatically.

EFI_IPv6_ADDRESS* EFI_DNS6_CONFIG_DATA::DnsServerList

Pointer to DNS server list containing DnsServerListCount entries or NULL if DnsServerListCount is 0. For Configure(), this will be NULL when there are no caller supplied server addresses and the DNS instance will retrieve DNS server from DHCP Server. The provided DNS server list is recommended to be filled up in the sequence of preference. When used with GetModeData(), the buffer containing the list will be allocated by the driver implementing this protocol and must be freed by the caller. When used with Configure(), the buffer containing the list will be allocated and released by the caller.

BOOLEAN EFI_DNS6_CONFIG_DATA::EnableDnsCache

If TRUE, enable DNS cache function for this DNS instance. If FALSE, all DNS query will not lookup local DNS cache.

UINT16 EFI_DNS6_CONFIG_DATA::LocalPort

Local port number. Set to zero to use the automatically assigned port number.

UINT8 EFI_DNS6_CONFIG_DATA::Protocol

Use the protocol number defined in http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers. Beside TCP/UDP, Other protocol is invalid value. An implementation can choose to support UDP, or both TCP and UDP.

UINT32 EFI_DNS6_CONFIG_DATA::RetryCount

Retry number if no response received after RetryInterval.

UINT32 EFI_DNS6_CONFIG_DATA::RetryInterval

Minimum interval of retry is 2 second. If the retry interval is less than 2 seconds, then use the 2 seconds.

EFI_IPv6_ADDRESS EFI_DNS6_CONFIG_DATA::StationIp

The local IP address to use. Set to zero to let the underlying IPv6 driver choose a source address. If not zero it must be one of the configured IP addresses in the underlying IPv6 driver.
