Hi all. I'm searching for a module that permits me to low-level interact
with ethernet interfaces of my system.
I would like to determine at least the first of the followings values:
1 - IP address assigned to the interface
2 - subnet mask
3 - default gateway
4 - primary and secondary dns
5 - default wins server
6 - mac address
7 - broadcast address
On python cookbook I found this usefuls script that returns the IP address
of a specified interface but it only works on unix platforms. I was
wondering if exist a specific module that could solve this kind of
problems.
Best regards.
import socket
import fcntl
import struct
def get_ip_address(ifname):
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
return socket.inet_ntoa(fcntl.ioctl(
s.fileno(),
0x8915, # SIOCGIFADDR
struct.pack('256s', ifname[:15])
)[20:24])
>>> get_ip_address('lo')
'127.0.0.1'
>>> get_ip_address('eth0')
'38.113.228.130'
