Netonix Forums

I am trying to pull the MAC table from a Netonix WS-6-MINI Swithc using PHP

The PHP code is...

$html = file_get_contents('http://192.168.1.20/api.php/v1/mactable');
echo $html;

This code works on every other site I have tried no problems

Using this code on the Netonix I get this error...

"Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /www/api.php on line 691"

Any ideas?

Or is there documentation on the API?

The only thing I can think of is this page http://192.168.1.20/api.php/v1/mactable contains lots of special characters like "{}:][

Its because you have not authenticated the request. You will need to POST to http://192.168.1.20/index.php with a username and password to create a session, grab the cookie from the response and send the cookie along with the request for http://192.168.1.20/api.php/v1/mactable.

The http://192.168.1.20/api.php/v1/mactable contains special characters because it is returning the mactable information in JSON format.

Alternately use SSH and grab /tmp/mactable.json, which contains the same information.

Or use SNMP (BRIDGE-MIB).

Great thanks, I just tested that theory and your right I didn't notice.

You can browse to http://192.168.1.20/api.php/v1/mactable using web browser and you can view the MAC address's but only if your logged in.

I have spent the last week trying to write the PHP code to authenticate with the Netonix and pull the address's off. So far I am not having any luck. Is there any documentation for this or can you please help write the code?

This is the code I am using at the momment

$payload = 'admin:admin';
$process = curl_init('http://192.168.1.20/index.php');
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/xml', $additionalHeaders));
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'admin:admin');
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$return = curl_exec($process);
curl_close($process);
echo $return;

The reply from the Netonix is "Invalid username or password"

It worked first time :)

Thanks so much for your help

Hi Eric,

Is this the same for authenticating on the Netonix Manager API?

Thanks
Mike

Similar, but not the same. Manager uses session cookies. You can authenticate the session by doing a POST to / including "username" and "password" in the body. Then you can do any API calls by just including the cookie.

Hi Eric,

That doesnt seem to work for me, do you have an example PHP Script?

Thanks


Mike

It actually requires 2 cookies.

Code: Select all

$data = array('username' => 'admin', 'password' => 'admin');
$options = array(
 'http' => array(
 'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
 'method' => 'POST',
 'content' => http_build_query($data)
),
'ssl' => array(
 'verify_peer' => false,
 'verify_peer_name' => false,
 'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents('https://192.168.2.8:3443/', false, $context);
$session_id = '';
$session_sig='';
foreach($http_response_header as $header) {
 if (preg_match('/^Set-Cookie: (session=.*?);/mi', $header, $match) == 1) {
 $session_id = $match[1];
 }
 if (preg_match('/^Set-Cookie: (session.sig=.*?);/mi', $header, $match) == 1) {
 $session_sig = $match[1];
 }
}
$options = array(
 'http' => array(
 'method' => "GET",
 'header' => "Cookie: " . $session_id . "; " . $session_sig
 ),
'ssl' => array(
 'verify_peer' => false,
 'verify_peer_name' => false,
 'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents('https://192.168.2.8:3443/api/devices', false, $context);
echo $result;
