Get ethernet IP address....need scripting help

[roiegat]

So we have a script which find the WIFI and Ethernet IP address and then determines which network interface to turn off. The current script uses this method:

ether=$(networksetup -listallnetworkservices | Grep -m1 'Ethernet')
wireless=$(networksetup -listallnetworkservices | Grep -m1 'Wi-Fi')

echo "Ethernet Name: $ether"
echo "Wireless Name: $wireless"

if [[ -n $wireless ]]; 
then
    getipaddywifi=$(networksetup -getinfo "$wireless" | awk 'NR ==2' | awk '{print $3'})
    echo "WIFI IP: $getipaddywifi"
fi

if [[ -n $ether ]];
then
    getipaddyether=$(networksetup -getinfo "$ether" | awk 'NR ==2' | awk '{print $3'})
    echo "ETHERNET IP: $getipaddyether"

fi

The problem is that some users are using fancy adapters and docks and it's reporting they have ethernet addresses when they actually don't. So I'd like to have it cycle through all the network services with Ethernet in the name, find ip any have an IP, and then put it in the $getipaddyether value. Any thoughts?

I use this as an EA, but can be used as a script as well. Hopefully it helps you out. Works well for me.

#!/bin/bash

# Create result string.
RESULT=""

# Generate list of all active network device ports (e.g. en0, en1).
DEVICE_PORTS="$(ifconfig | awk -F: '/<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,/{print $1}' | sort 2> /dev/null)
$(ifconfig | awk -F: '/<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,/{print $1}' | sort 2> /dev/null)"

# Save output of networksetup for future lookup of friendly port names.
NETWORKSETUP=$(networksetup -listallhardwareports)

# Iterate through active ports.
for PORT in $DEVICE_PORTS; do

    # Get IP address of this port.
    THIS_IP=$(ifconfig "$PORT" | awk '/inet /{print $2}' 2> /dev/null)

    # If the IP is not blank, then add its information to the result string.
    if [[ "$THIS_IP" != "" ]]; then

        THIS_NAME=$(echo "$NETWORKSETUP" | sed -n "/Device: $PORT/{g;1!p;};h" | awk '{print substr($0, index($0,$3))}')

        # If the port doesn't have a name in networksetup, use "Other."
        if [[ -z $THIS_NAME ]]; then

            # For interfaces with no name in networksetup, we have to resort to system_profiler. Would love to combine this grep/head/awk. Open to suggestions.
            THIS_NAME=$(system_profiler SPNetworkDataType | grep -B3 "BSD Device Name: $PORT" | head -1 | colrm 1 4 | awk -F: '{print $1}')

            if [[ -z $THIS_NAME ]]; then

                # If we still don't have a usable name, use "Other."
                THIS_NAME="Other"

            fi

        fi

        # Add a line feed between each port's output.
        if [[ -n $RESULT ]]; then
            RESULT+="
"
        fi

        RESULT+="$THIS_NAME ($PORT): $THIS_IP"
    fi

done

# Send the result string back to the JSS.
echo "<result>$RESULT</result>"

exit 0

I use the following script with a LaunchDaemon to fire it:

#!/bin/bash

# Name:  swapNetwork.sh
# Date:
# Purpose:  disable the wi-fi port when ethernet is plugged in
# Original JAMF Nation post:  https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=1441#respond
# Credit to Jonathan Synowiec for this
# Use in conjunction with a LaunchDaemon

##
# Define wireless interface "en" label.
wifiInterface=$(networksetup -listallhardwareports | grep 'Wi-Fi' -A1 | grep -o en.)
##
# Define wireless interface active status.
wifiStatus=$(ifconfig "${wifiInterface}" | grep 'status' | awk '{ print $2 }')
##
# Define wireless interface power status
wifiPower=$(networksetup -getairportpower "${wifiInterface}" | awk '{ print $4 }')
##
# Define non-wireless interface "en" labels.
ethernetInterface=$(networksetup -listallhardwareports | grep 'en' | grep -v "${wifiInterface}" | grep -o en.)
##
# Define non-wireless IP status.
ethernetIP=$(for i1 in ${ethernetInterface};do
  echo $(ifconfig "${i1}" | grep 'inet' | grep -v '127.0.|169.254.' | awk '{ print $2 }')
done)
##
# Disable active wireless interface if non-wireless interface connected.
if [[ "${ethernetIP}" && "${wifiStatus}" = "active" ]] || [[ "${ethernetIP}" && "${wifiPower}" = "On" ]]; then
  networksetup -setairportpower "${wifiInterface}" off
  touch /var/tmp/wifiDisabled; fi
##
# Enable inactive wireless interface if previously disabled by daemon.
if [[ "${ethernetIP}" = "" && "${wifiStatus}" = "inactive" ]] || [[ "${ethernetIP}" = "" && "${wifiPower}" = "Off" ]]; then
  if [[ -f "/var/tmp/wifiDisabled" ]]; then
    rm -f /var/tmp/wifiDisabled
    networksetup -setairportpower "${wifiInterface}" on; fi
fi

## update the JSS
checkjss=`/usr/sbin/jamf checkJSSConnection -retry 0 | grep "The JSS is available"`

if [ "$checkjss" == "The JSS is available." ]; then
    /usr/sbin/jamf log
fi

##
# Sleep to prevent launchd interpreting as a crashed process.
sleep 10
exit 0

Then the LaunchDaemon is simply this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.yourcompany.swapnetwork</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/path/to/your/script/swapNetwork.sh</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <false/>
    <key>StartInterval</key>
    <integer>15</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

That will watch for when an ethernet cable is plugged in and disable wifi. Then when the cable is unplugged it re-enables wifi. I've had luck with Thunderbolt adapters, Thunderbolt Cinema Displays, and USB ethernet adapters.

Same idea, not my code, works well everywhere I've used it:

# Get list of Wireless Interfaces

/g' | grep Wi-Fi | awk '{print $3}'`

# Look for an IP on all Ethernet interfaces.  If found set variable IPFOUND to true.

  if [ $IPCHECK ]; then
    IPFOUND=true
  fi
done

    /usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower $WIFIINTERFACES off || exit 1
    echo "Turning OFF wireless on card $WIFIINTERFACES."

Thanks for the help guys. I'm modifying the top version for our needs. For security purposes it does a little more then just turn off a network service, but can't reveal all the details. Appreciate the help.
