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

Thanks for your thoughts Ed. There are
various ways that can be determined to get the IP Address "if"
the endpoint's lcfd service/deamon is running on a machine! But let's consider
a scenario where, there's no TMA code at the endpoint machine or the lcfd
is not running, only the instance exists in the TME. My question is based
on this scenario.

Kindly,
Napo

Why not just create a task
that ran a command (ipconfig) to tell you what the IP address is.  Then
execute the task on the endpoint.  The IP address should be in the
STDOUT.

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
