Subject: Re: Retrieve interface and next hop

Hello...
I guess I have the same problem with the question that Tom cites. I
understand that you want to retrieve the IP address of something --
but... of what? I know, the IP address "of a TCP/IP interface" -- but
how could you possibly specify *which* TCP/IP interface? If I wanted to
write a program that looked up the IP address for an interface, what
would be the input to that program?
There can be many TCP/IP interfaces for a given line description or
ethernet card. Normally, you distinguish interfaces based on IP address...
If I can somehow get past that roadblock, then I may be able to answer
the question...

Can you describe this more fully? As I look at things, I pretty
much think it like "an I/P address _is_ a TCP/IP interface." That
is, if you prompt the ADDTCPIFC command, the first key parameter
is the IP address.
So, in order to know _which_ interface to obtain the IP address
from, you'd supply... the IP address.
