Identify the interface type of an interface

[V Vijayan]

Hi Srivats,

I use the below command to get the list of interfaces available in the drone hardware.

        o_ports = self.drone.getPortConfig(self.drone.getPortIdList())
        for o_port in o_ports.port:
            print('%d.%s (%s)' % (o_port.port_id.id, o_port.name, o_port.description))

I would like to 

1) identify the interface type say it is ethernet or loopback

2) state of the hardware like link up or link down

This interfaces list needs to be displayed to user choose the sending and receiving interface. So, cant display all the interface of drone like loopback,

Thanks

On summary note, I planned to display the ethernet interfaces from multiple machines (drones) and user can choose on which interface the data has to be sent and on which interface the data has to be received.

You can use a check as shown in the example tutorial -

        if ('lo' in port.name or 'loopback' in port.description.lower()):
            tx_port_number = port.port_id.id
            rx_port_number = port.port_id.id

 

2) state of the hardware like link up or link down

Use getStats() to fetch the port stats. The stats also include the link state - stats.port_stats[0].state.link_state

 

This interfaces list needs to be displayed to user choose the sending and receiving interface. So, cant display all the interface of drone like loopback,

If you connect to the drone from the GUI, does the GUI show all the interfaces?

Please include some logs and screenshots so that I can understand your issue better and help you.
