Parse ifconfig output collected from local or remote server and retrieve required interface information.
Install ifconfig-parser:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install -U ifparser
You can access inferface information as below :
.. code-block:: python
>>> import commands
>>> from ifparser import Ifcfg
>>> ifdata = Ifcfg(commands.getoutput('ifconfig -a'))
>>> ifdata.interfaces
['lo', 'docker0', 'eth0']
>>> eth0 = ifdata.get_interface('eth0')
>>> eth0.BROADCAST
True
>>> eth0.hwaddr, eth0.mtu, eth0.ip, eth0.UP
('08:00:27:1f:d8:b0', '1500', '10.0.2.15', True)
You can query for intefaces on particular parameter :
.. code-block:: python
>>> ifdata.get(itype='Ethernet')
[obj-docker0, obj-eth0]
>>> ifdata.get(UP=True)
[obj-lo, obj-docker0, obj-eth0]
Get all interface parameters with get_values
. Following dictionary contains all possible values:
.. code-block:: python
>>> eth0 = ifdata.get_interface('eth0')
>>> eth0.get_values()
{'BROADCAST': True,
'LOOPBACK': False,
'MULTICAST': True,
'RUNNING': True,
'UP': True,
'bcast': '10.10.2.255',
'hwaddr': 'FF:FF:27:1f:d8:b0',
'interface': 'eth0',
