ISY Network Information

[jca001]

Is there a way to show the Network Information the ISY is using?

 

I know the IP Address because I can connect to it via the Admin Console and ssh. But I need to know the other things such as netmask, domain name, nameserver addresses, gateway address, etc that was provided by DHCP.

 

I recently upgraded from V 3.2.6 to 3.3.5 and had some network resources that use the simple name to access them instead of the FQDN.

 

Example: caiwc1 instead of caiwc1.allenhouse.network

 

My router is running DD-WRT and has dnsmasq enabled to handle DHCP and local DNS with the LAN domain set to allenhouse.network

 

The ISY is setup to use DHCP and gets assigned the same IP Address from the router based on the MAX Address. It should also get the other information stated above.

 

From my other computers I can do "nslookup caiwc1" and get the correct IP Address returned. But there does not seem to be any way to make the same test from the ISY. I connected via ssh and did not find a command to show the current Network Information, only being able to change it.

Hello Mr. Allen,

 

The only parameters available are IP, mask, gateway, and dns ... none of the other low level parameters are available through our interface.

 

With kind regards,

Michel:

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

It would be nice if in the Configuration/System screen showed this in the Network Settings, just grayed out if Automatic (DHCP) is checked. And maybe some other information that was provided by the DHCP Server. This would help with trouble shooting some network related problems, such as what I have run into.

 

Please put it on the wish list.

Mr. Allen,

 

I sure will put on the list. This said, it would be really helpful if you could give a list of parameters that you think are important (above and beyond the regular data).

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Michel:

 

Client Address (the address the ISY is using)

 

Server Address (the address of the DHCP server, helps in case there is more than one DHCP on a network, home router, PC, maybe other devices that have DHCP server service enabled the user did not realize was enabled)

 

Gateway Address

 

NetMask

 

Lease date and time (to be able to see the lease is getting renewed if it has lease timeout)

 

Domain name provided by the DHCP server (this may not be in the main DHCP reply, the ISY may have to ask for this during DHCP communications)

 

Domain Name Server Address (generally will be the address of the home router, but could be different if configured on the DHCP server)

 

Any other information the developers can think of that may help trouble shoot network related problems, link speed and duplex.

 

It would be good to be able to see all this information from the ssh connection to help with problems with the Admin Console is not working.

Mr. Allen, thanks so very much.
