Re: [TMF4.1.1] lowlevel command to obtain endpoint ip address on NAT enabled TME

Thanks Gary/Jason. From Gary's explanation,
the IP of an endpoint instance in a NAT enable TME is not available from
any object database or registry on the TME. Your explanation does make
sense, unfortunately it only confirms my fears! Looks like I'll have to
abandon the thought, unless someone comes up with some magical way of achieving
the objective( to provide the installer with more information for further
analysis when/where needed).

Thanks for all your swift assistance
gents. Keep well and on track.

So you are asking for the real address of the endpoint that is on the other
side of a NAT firewall?

This information would not be available to the Endpoint Manager. In a
configuration like this, you would be using the name of the endpoint to
communicate with it, and the name is converted by the appropriate naming
service to an IP address, which will be converted to the real address when
it passes through the firewall.

An IP address may be stored in the Endpoint Manager database, but this
address is very likely to be the NAT'd address, not the real one. Is this
the IP address you are asking for?

Can someone please tell me the low level (i.e. objcall,idcall,etc.) command
to obtain the IP ADDRESS of an endpoint on a Tivoli Management Environment
that has NAT enabled? I need the IP as registered in on the TMR.

Thanking you in advance,
Napo
