Hi all,

I am able to get the External Ip Address, which is the internal IP of the requesting CPE within this network:

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANIPConnection.1.ExternalIPAddress

In addition, I have added two more vlans to my config, just for public ip of CPE and for VOIP. However, through geniacs, I am not able to get its ip address:

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.2.WANIPConnection.1.ExternalIPAddress  
InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.3.WANIPConnection.1.ExternalIPAddress

Anyone have faced it before and was able to solve it?

Many thanks,

Sebastia

Those instances won’t have an IP assigned if they aren’t up and connected. That would be the only reason (other than a CPE defect) which would cause those entries to come back empty.
