Get actual IP address from a poolmember in Powershell

I'm using powershell to query pool members. I'm able to pull the address and port form get_member_v2, but address is not actually IP address, but Node Name. How can I get the actual IP address for a pool member.

 

 

Here's the script I'm working with

 

 

$stream = [System.IO.StreamWriter] "poolsandmembers.csv"

 

$poollist = (Get-F5.iControl).LocalLBPool.get_list();

 

$stream.WriteLine("pool,address,port");

 

foreach ($pool in $poollist)

 

{

 

$members = Get-PoolMembers -Pool $pool;

 

foreach ($member in $members) {

 

$stream.WriteLine($pool+","+$member.address+","+$member.port);

 

}

 

}

 

 

$stream.close()

 

 

 

 

function Get-PoolMembers()

 

{

 

param(

 

$Pool = $null

 

);

 

$MemberListAofA = (Get-F5.iControl).LocalLBPool.get_member_v2( @($Pool) );

 

$MemberListA = $MemberListAofA[0];

 

$MemberListA;

 

}

    Take the output from your pool member query and feed it into this: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.LocalLB__NodeAddressV2__get_address.ashx

    For a short term fix, you can use the deprecated get_member method. It will return the IP addresses of the members. Note that I don't name nodes in V11, so your mileage with that may vary.

    Thanks!. Here's what I ended up doing. I made a function called Get-PoolMemberIP:

    
function Get-PoolMemberIP()
{
  param(
    $Member = $null
  );
  $MemberIP = (Get-F5.iControl).LocalLBNodeAddressV2.get_address( @($Member) );
  $MemberIP;
}

    Then I call that and set it to a variable in my foreach members loop

    
    foreach ($member in $members) {
        $memberipadd = Get-PoolMemberIP -Member $member.address; 
        $stream.WriteLine($pool+","+$member.address+","+$memberipadd+","+$member.port);
    }
