how can we know know the system external ip address in hp-ux?

[Torsten.]

What should be the difference between internal and external addresses?

All IPs are in

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf

just do a "more" on this file.

You can also do a

lanscan

and show the settings for each NIC, like

ifconfig lan0

[S B Nair]

You can use #netstat -in

and isolate from the class of IPs

Hi sokolova,

Your question is not clear.

you can check the IP address from the following commands.

First see how many lan cards are installed.
#lanscan

after that

#ifconfig lan0 or lan1 etc

Example:

# lanscan
Hardware Station Crd Hdw Net-Interface NM MAC HP-DLPI DLPI
Path Address In# State NamePPA ID Type Support Mjr#
0/1/2/0 0x001321D650CB 0 UP lan0 snap0 1 ETHER Yes 119
# ifconfig lan0
lan0: flags=1843
inet 192.xxx.xxx.24 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.xxx.xxx.255
#
# netstat -rn
Routing tables
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Interface Pmtu
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 lo0 4136
192.xxx.xxx.24 192.xxx.xxx.24 UH 0 lan0 4136
192.xxx.xxx.0 192.xxx.xxx.24 U 2 lan0 1500
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 U 0 lo0 0

if you don't have a proxy
ADDR=www.whatismyip.org
PORT=80

If you must use a proxy
$ADDR is the address of the proxy
and PORT the proxy port.

for instance
ADDR=web-proxy
PORT=8088
a=$( (echo "GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.whatismyip.org\nUser-Agent:\n\n";sleep 1; echo "^]close")| telnet $ADDR $PORT | tr "
" "\$" )

a=="${a%\$*\$*}"
IP="${a##*\$}"

Hi,

or 'ping' the ws with its name and you'll get back the ping statistic with the ip-address.
