ip-address: Add an IP address to a network interface.
$ ip address add ${ip_address} dev ${eth0}
try on your machine

This is a command used in Linux systems to add an IP address to a specific network interface (${eth0}).

Here is the breakdown of the command syntax:

  • ip address add: This is the command to add an IP address.
  • ${ip_address}: This is a placeholder for the specific IP address you want to add. You would replace ${ip_address} with the actual IP address you want to assign to the interface.
  • dev ${eth0}: This specifies the network interface (${eth0}) to which the IP address will be assigned. You would replace ${eth0} with the actual network interface you want to assign the IP address to.

Overall, this command is used to assign a specific IP address to a network interface in a Linux system.
