Get the IP address associated with a network interface

[tirengarfio]

Hi,

how can i get the IP address associated with a network interface using the terminal?

With ifconfig. For example eth0:

Code: Select all

$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0

[deranjer]

Code: Select all

/sbin/ifconfig -a

or

Code: Select all

sudo ifconfig -a

If you don't know the name of the interface these commands should list all of the networking interfaces on your machine (and list all of the information).

With ifconfig. For example eth0:

Code: Select all

$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0

Or, if you don't feel like reading all that junk:

Code: Select all

/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep addr: | awk '{print $2}'

[debil]

Code: Select all

sudo ifconfig -a

Since sudo is not misused by default in Debian, better to do

Code: Select all

$ su -c "ifconfig -a"

and avoid further confusion.

Or, if you don't feel like reading all that junk:

Code: Select all

/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep addr: | awk '{print $2}'

Or if you want to get rid of all that "addr:" junk:

Code: Select all

$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep addr: | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d" " -f1

/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep addr: | awk '{print $2}'

debil:

    $ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep addr: | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d" " -f1

i like both. finally a reason to make use of an alias (and... done). thanks
