network-config     

Network configuration for NodeJS. Only used & tested on Debian

Setup

``
npm install network-config
`





Usage

$3

To check the state of dhcp you have to enable parsing the interfaces file.


`javascript
var network = require('network-config');

network.interfaces(function(err, interfaces){
/* interfaces should be something like:

[{
name: 'eth0',
ip: '1.1.1.77',
netmask: '1.1.1.0',
mac: 'aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa',
gateway: '10.10.10.1',
},
{ ... }, { ... }]
*/

});

network.interfaces(function(err, interfaces){
/* interfaces should be something like:

[{
name: 'eth0',
ip: '1.1.1.77',
netmask: '1.1.1.0',
mac: 'aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa',
gateway: '10.10.10.1',
dhcp: false
},
{ ... }, { ... }]
*/

}, {interfaces: {parse: true, file: '/etc/network/interfaces'}}); //default: parse: false, file: '/etc/network/interfaces'

// ipv6 support

network.interfaces(function(err, interfaces){
/* interfaces should be something like:

[{
name: 'enxb827ebf6e3b1',
ip: '192.168.10.10',
