Softlayer API: How to get a VSI's ipv6 info?

Question

I have create a virtual server withing ipv6 address. How can I get the IPv6 information by sl api? I want the information likes:

Answer 1

take a look to this code to get the details of the bare metal servers:

here an example for VM

this one is for bare metal

related information.

Basically you need to use an object mask to get the properties of the server, you can see all the properties in documentation http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Hardware_Server
