Script to send alerts when the Interface get new IP from DHCP

[demichel2]

Hi All,

I have some branch offices with a Cable ISP company with dynamic IP address,   I'm trying to create a script to automatically send an email if the interface get a new IP address if the interface get the previous IP do not send an email .

So far this is the script I created :

event manager applet TEST2
event syslog pattern "Interface FastEthernet1 assigned DHCP"
action 1.1 cli command "enable"
action 1.2 cli command "show int FastEthernet1 | i Internet address"
action 1.51 regexp "Internet address is 9.9.9.9 /30" "$_cli_result"
action 1.6 if $_regexp_result eq "0"
action 2.0 mail from testevent@anydomain.com to emai@anydomain.com subject "NEW IP ADDRESS " server SMTP.ANYDOMAIN.COM body "$_syslog_msg"
action 2.1 end

The only issue with the script is that if the interface get a new IP address I need to update the script in action 1.51 regexp with the new IP address so next time the interface change the IP compare with the variable Internet address is ...

Thank you,

There are a number of ways to do what you want.  A file on flash is probably the easiest given it will persist across reboots.

event manager applet check-ip

 event syslog pattern "Interface FastEthernet1 assigned DHCP"

 action 1.0 cli command "enable"

 action 2.0 handle-error type ignore

 action 3.0 file open fd flash:myip.txt r

 action 4.0 if $_error ne FH_EOK

 action 4.1  set currip "0.0.0.0"

 action 4.2 else

 action 4.3  file gets fd currip

 action 4.4  file close fd

 action 4.5 end

 action 4.6 handle-error type exit

 action 4.7 cli command "show int Fa1 | inc Internet address"

 action 4.8 regexp "Internet address is ([0-9\.]+)" "$_cli_result" match myip

 action 4.9 if $myip ne $currip

 action 5.0  mail from testevent@anydomain.com to emai@anydomain.com subject "NEW IP ADDRESS " server SMTP.ANYDOMAIN.COM body "$_syslog_msg"

 action 5.1  file open fd flash:myip.txt w

 action 5.2  file puts fd nonewline $myip

 action 5.3  file close fd

 action 5.4 end
