How to check IP In Linux

In Linux, you can use Shell Command to find or get IP address
It displays Ethernet IP address, Mac address, subnet mask and other information.
Type /sbin/ipconfig command to display IP address:

Code:

$ /sbin/ifconfig

Code:

$ /sbin/ifconfig | less

Under Solaris and other Unixish oses you may need to type ifconfig command with -a option as follows:

Code:

$ /sbin/ifconfig -a
