Get Admin IP address with SNMP

I've got a work around this. I just used the following way without SNMP.

!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Socket;
use strict;
 
my $host_name = hostname($ARGV[0]);
print "$ARGV[0] resolves to $host_name\n";
 
sub hostname {
 
  my (@bytes, @octets,
    $packedaddr,
    $raw_addr,
    $host_name,
    $ip
  );
 
  if($_[0] =~ /[a-zA-Z]/g) {
    $raw_addr = (gethostbyname($_[0]))[4];
    @octets = unpack("C4", $raw_addr);
    $host_name = join(".", @octets);
  } else {
    @bytes = split(/\./, $_[0]);
    $packedaddr = pack("C4",@bytes);
    $host_name = (gethostbyaddr($packedaddr, 2))[0];
  }
 
  return($host_name);
}

I think the IP that the hostname resolves to is configurable and could vary by unit. You could run this command to get the mgmt IP:

 

 

b mgmt|cut -f 2 -d " "
