Question/Problem

How do I find the IP Address of a BOSS Controller?


Environment

BOSS Controller, QNX


Answer/Solution

Depending on the physical configuration of a BOSS controller, it may have more than one active IP address within a customer environment.  A controller with more than one Network card installed would likely have more than one IP address. 

In order to check the IP addresses on a BOSS controller, you would first need to establish an ssh / telnet session to the controller, using a program like PuTTY or simply by opening an ssh or telnet session through Window's 'Command Prompt'.

Once you have connected to the controller, you would enter the following command to display the IP addresses for each card:

ifconfig

Upon entering the 'ifconfig' command, you should see all network cards displayed, and should be able to see the IP addresses for each network card, on the line with 'inet'.  For the example above, the first network card (wm0) has an IP address of '10.0.24.1', and the second network card (wm1) has an IP address of '192.168.9.9'.
