Login to the unit via telnet and then issue the command "get ip address". You can then write a shell script to grab that info via telnet. The output is in this format: $get ip address Ip Address Mask If Name BCast Addr MaxReasm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- aa.bb.cc.dd 255.255.255.255 ppp-0 1 65535 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 lo-0 1 65535 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 usb-0 1 65535 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 eth-0 1 65535 $get ppp ipinfo IfName : ppp-0 Status : Opened Self Ip Address : aa.bb.cc.dd Peer Ip Address : ee.ff.gg.hh Prim DNS Server : 67.55.0.11 Sec DNS Server : 66.49.220.95 That might help. Interestingly, the GNet BB2060 has the same software in it that runs the Trendnet TCM-C400 ADSL modem. >>>--fja-> -- OCLUG general discussion list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug
