ip-address: Display information about a specific network interface.
$ ip address show dev ${eth0}
try on your machine
This command retrieves the IP address information for the specified network device (in this case, ${eth0}).
Let's break down the command syntax:
- "ip address" is the command used to manage IP addresses in Linux.
- "show" is an option that specifies that we want to display the IP address information.
- "dev" is another option that specifies the network device we want to see the IP address information for.
- "${eth0}" is a placeholder for the actual network device name. In this context, it represents the first Ethernet interface on the system. The actual device name could be eth0, eth1, enp0s3, ens33, etc., depending on the system and network configuration.
When you run this command with the appropriate network device name, it will display the IP address, subnet mask, and other related information for that network device.
