    \n
  1. You can use the ifconfig command to:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    ifconfig\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    This command will display the configuration information for all network interfaces on the current system, including the IP address for each interface.<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Use the ip command.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      ip addr show\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      The command will also display the configuration information of all network interfaces in the current system, including the IP address of each interface.<\/p>\n
