What's the command to tell you your IP address?`	by voxwoman	2007-06-12 15:44:28

"ip addr show" in Linux.	by bwkaz	2007-06-12 17:02:59
ifconfig is still installed, and still works, in many distros. But the program hasn't been changed since early 2001, and it doesn't support a lot of options that the kernel has added since then. (One option in particular is multiple addresses per interface. You don't need alias interface names if a NIC has multiple IP addresses in the kernel; you only need them with ifconfig. IPRoute2 (which provides "ip") doesn't need aliases either; multiple "ip addr add" commands work fine.)
