Hi @allI don't know if any methods, exist, but you could hack it up if you
How can I find out the mac address from the default gateway with a ruby
script?
Does exist any methods to read it out? The script runs on a linux
distribution...
have the 'ip' package installed on your system, ie. 'ip show route'
doesn't say the command wasn't found.
Then you can try:
# get your gateway IP address
gateway = `ip route
show`.match(/default.*/)[0].match(/\d\d?\d?\.\d\d?\d?\.\d\d?\d?\.\d\d?\d?/)[0]
# get the mac address for the gateway
mac_address = `ip neigh
show`.match(/#{gateway}.*/)[0].match(/..:..:..:..:..:../)[0]
