auto detect hostnames from ip addresses

[jpfleischer]

implementation without ips is done as. implemented in cloudmesh inventory

cms host find

cms host find [--ips=IPS]
ips = Parameter.expand(arguments.ips)
for ip in ips:
    try:
      r = Shell.run(f"ssh {ip} hostname -I").strip()
      # we find the hostname, maybe with try except
      if error:
          report
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        Console.error("failed")

how do we use this? cms host names --ips=192.168.1.[100-103] add "How to use" this into the FAQ e.g. "what if my hostnames dont show up in my network?"

perhaps use nmap... it must be installed first. find mac addresses https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/28365/what-are-the-possible-ouis-for-the-ethernet-mac-address https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.txt

Gregor implemented

• [ ] needs only documentation on piplanet

[laszewsk]

there were lots of confusion about this. Former student die not think it works, however i think other then documentation this works and was implemented.
