Example: Display DNS Hostname Information Using an Op Script
date_range
15-Nov-23
This example uses an op script to display Domain Name System (DNS) information for a device in your network.
Overview and Op Script
This script displays DNS information for a device in your network. The script offers a slight improvement over the show host hostname command because you do not need to enter a hostname or IP address to view DNS information for the device you are currently using.
There is no Junos Extensible Markup Language (XML) equivalent for the show host hostname command. Therefore, this script uses the show host hostname command directly rather than using a remote procedure call (RPC).
The script is provided in two distinct versions, one using the <xsl:choose> element and the other using the jcs:first-of() function. Both versions accept the same argument and produce the same output. Each version is shown in both XSLT and SLAX syntax.

Procedure
Step-by-Step Procedure
To download, enable, and test the script:
Copy the XSLT or SLAX script into a text file, name the file hostname.xsl or hostname.slax as appropriate, and copy it to the /var/db/scripts/op/ directory on the device.
In configuration mode, include the
filestatement at the[edit system scripts op]hierarchy level and hostname.xsl or hostname.slax as appropriate.content_copy zoom_out_map[edit system scripts op] user@host# set file hostname.(slax | xsl)
Issue the
commit and-quitcommand to commit the configuration and to return to operational mode.content_copy zoom_out_map[edit] user@host# commit and-quit
Execute the op script by issuing the
op hostname <dns (hostname | address)>operational mode command.
Verification
Verifying the Op Script Execution
Purpose
Verify that the script behaves as expected.
Action
When you issue the op hostname operational mode command without the dns option, DNS information is displayed for the local device:
content_copy zoom_out_map
user@host1> op hostname Name: host1 has address 10.168.71.246
When you issue the op hostname dns hostname command, DNS information is displayed for the specified device:
content_copy zoom_out_map
user@host1> op hostname dns router1 Name: router1 has address 10.168.71.249
When you issue the op hostname dns address command, DNS information is displayed for the specified address:
content_copy zoom_out_map
user@host1> op hostname dns 10.168.71.249 Name: 249.71.168.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer router1
