hostname of the modem gateway
Hi guys, with the new release of Debian 'Stretch', the route command has been replaced but what other command returns the hostname of the modem/router gateway...? # route gateway = home.telecomitalia.it # ip route gateway = 192.168.1.1 Thanks for reply, Max Power.

What the error actually means is that there is no reverse DNS resolution for that IP address, in other words the IP address cannot be resolved to its hostname. It has nothing at all to do with routing.

Rereading the all conversation I should have said to "David Wright " that the error: $ host 192.168.1.1 Host 1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Meens that there is no hostname associated with that ip.

However if you want to use the 'route' command, or 'netstat -r' which is equivalent, it is still available in the 'net-tools' package.

Note that the gateway address given by DHCP is available in a variable that dhclient-enter-hooks scripts can use. You probably want to get it that way instead of running "ip route" or "route" or "netstat -r" or any other command.

I haven't a clue what works for the OP, not even after glancing at the subsequent thread that seems to continue the debate. I don't even know exactly how they generated the lines: |> # route |> gateway = home.telecomitalia.it |> # ip route |> gateway = 192.168.1.1 All I did was to suggest how the OP could get ip to do what route appears to do by default, which is to print names in place of dotted quads. I have a name associated with 192.168.1.1 but it's not resolvable through DNS: there's no resolver in the router. I have to resolve it with getent, and I asume my system is doing just that: $ getent hosts 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1 router $ ping router PING router (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from router (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.24 ms 64 bytes from router (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.53 ms 64 bytes from router (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.15 ms 64 bytes from router (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=1.42 ms ^C --- router ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3004ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.157/1.590/2.245/0.402 ms $ head -12 /etc/hosts # /root/hosts-0-acer 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 acer # # /root/hosts-1-local-template # List of local hosts. # Comment out the line of this host when installing. # Check the IPv6 lines occasionally because they change them. 192.168.1.1 router $ Cheers, David.
