I use a PXE booted Linux machine. I need monitoring the IP address in hexadecimal format.
How to monitor IP address with python?
I need a python script that can output IP addresses in hexadecimal?
Please help me.
Hi
If you are using a PXE booted Linux machine. Sometimes you need to IP address in hexadecimal format. Given Python script will output the hexadecimal format for IP Addresses .

Hello,
Try this out:
Import re
Import says
Import socket
If (not Len (sis. argv) == 2):
Print "Usage: ip2hex. By hostname|IP address/mask"
sys. Exit (1)
Try:
(in_str, mask) = sys.argv[1].split("/")
# sanity checks mask
Mask = int (mask)
If (mask > 32 or mask < 0):
Print "Mask out of range"
sys.exit(1)
Except ValueError:
Mask = 0
in_str = sys.argv[1]
Try:
ip_addr = socket. gethostbyname (in_str)
Except:
Print "Invalid address!"
sys.exit(1)
#gethostbyname really checks this for us, but you never know
ip_regex = re.compile('(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?).'
'(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?).'
'(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?).'
'(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)')
ip_match = ip_regex.match(ip_addr)
If (ip_match == None):
Print "Invalid address"
sys.exit(1)
hex_ip_addr = 0
For I in range (1,5):
hex_ip_addr += int(ip_match.group(i)) << (4-i)*8
fmt = "%%0%dX" % ((32 - mask) / 4)
Print format % (hex_ip_addr >> mask)
