Re: docsdiag help

Hmmm, the 10.xxx.xxxx.xxx IP that is the first hop in a tracert is the Default Gateway IP of the modem subnet, not the private IP of the cable modem. The Modem acts as a transparent bridge and therefore does not decrease the ttl and send an ICMP type 11 when the ttl = 0.

I believe you can see the IP of the cable modem by sniffing traffic and rebooting the modem or by using docsdiag via the formula in the FAQ.

When I traceroute to www.cablevision.com I get the first hop as 10.20.0.1 which is the gateway not the modem (same thing happens on Rogers cable in Mississauga, ON).

For those who have Perl and the Net::SNMP package installed on their system, this script I wrote some time ago can retrieve the network side address (as well as issue an alert if your uploads are capped). You need to be able to get a on 192.168.100.1 so you may need to remove your router temporarily:

# GetIP.pl - Query DOCSIS modem for network side IP address

use Net::SNMP;

# Use the standard Cable Modem address of 192.168.100.1 with a community string of public.
# Unless it has been changed, this should work without any problems.

my $HOST = @ARGV[0];
my $HOST = "192.168.100.1" unless $HOST;

($session, $error) = Net::SNMP->session(
-hostname => shift | $HOST,
-community => shift | "public",
-port => shift | 161,
-timeout => 60
);
if (!defined($session)) {
printf("ERROR: %s.\n", $error);
exit 1;
}

############################################################
my $OID_IpAdEntAddr = '1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1';
my $OID_QosMaxUpstream = '1.3.6.1.2.1.10.127.1.1.3.1.3.1';
############################################################

$k = SNMPGetNextRequest($session, $OID_IpAdEntAddr);
($IPMib) = keys(%$k);
printf("Network IP Address: %s\n",
SNMPGetRequest($session, $IPMib)
);

$QosMaxUpstream = SNMPGetRequest($session, $OID_QosMaxUpstream);
printf("Qos Max Upstream Bandwidth: %s bps\n",
Commas($QosMaxUpstream)
);
print "\n** THE UPSTREAM BANDWIDTH HAS BEEN CAPPED **\n"
if ($QosMaxUpstream < 1000000);

$session->close();
exit 0;

#
# Commas( <Number> )
#
# RETURN: Comma seperated number
#

sub Commas {
local($_) = @_;
1 while s/(.*\d)(\d\d\d)/$1,$2/;
$_;
}

#
# SNMPGetRequest(<SNMP Session Object>, <OID String> )
#
# RETURN: SNMP value for specified OID string
#

sub SNMPGetRequest {
local($session) = shift @_;
local($OID) = shift @_;

if (!defined($response = $session->get_request($OID))) {
printf("ERROR: %s.\n", $session->error());
$session->close();
exit 1;
}
return $response->{$OID}
}

#
# SNMPGetNextRequest(<SNMP Session Object>, <OID String> )
#
# RETURN: Hash containing found OID.
#

sub SNMPGetNextRequest {
local($session) = shift @_;
local($OID) = shift @_;

if (!defined($response = $session->get_next_request($OID))) {
printf("ERROR: %s.\n", $session->error());
$session->close();
exit 1;
}
return $response;
}

The perl script works, thank you, it correctly identifies the private ip of the modem, however maybe you can help me debug this problem.

This is the output I get. I'm using CPAN's Net::SNMP package and ActiveState 5.8.6 Binary Build 811.

[code]
$getoolip.pl
Network IP Address: 10.41.96.xx == correct (not the gateway)
ERROR: Received noSuchName(2) error-status at error-index 1.

$

I'm using Windows XP. I installed Net::SNMP with ppm3 (perl package manager). I ran it and got the above output.

I then installed the entire Win32 build of Net:SNMP with the same results.

My goal is to get this script working under XP.
Thanks in advace,
David
