Best way to get wan ip on cli/ash script?

[agrohe21]

I dont see a uci setting or a script for this.

I am currently getting this was. Is it correct? Is there another/better way?

Code: Select all

ip addr list eth1.2|grep inet|awk '{print $2}'|sed 's/\/22//'

I do see an entry in /var/state/network

that is probably better/safer, right?
network.wan.ipaddr

Network state is ok.
Is this for use in a script? If so, I would import the network functions file and use it.

Code: Select all

source /lib/functions/network.sh
network_find_wan NET_IF
network_get_ipaddr NET_ADDR "${NET_IF}"
echo "${NET_ADDR}"
