Abstract
A network device providing access to an external device by configuring the network device to control the flow of traffic from the external device to the network device. The flow control may include retrieving an IP address or port number from a bridged device and applying it to a stack stored in the memory of the network device so that the bridged device and network device share the same IP address.
Claims8
A network device, comprising:
- an access point server having a DHCP server and a DNS server;
- a processor in communication with the access point server, the processor being programmed using programming commands
- to analyze incoming traffic being broadcast by an external device and to determine if an IP address received by the access point server to which the incoming traffic is addressed is the IP address of the access point server, and if the received IP address is the address of the access point server, allowing the traffic to be communicated to a network layer of the network device;
- wherein external devices connected to the access point server can communicate both with the network device and with applications running on the network device.

A network device, comprising:
- an access point client having a DHCP client;
- a processor in communication with the access point client, the processor being programmed using programming commands to
- to analyze incoming traffic from an external device,
- to determine if a port address received by the access point client is a port address associated with the network device, and if the received port address is the port address of the network device, directing the content of the packet to a stack stored in a memory of the network device.
