ip-address: Filter to show only active network interfaces.
$ ip address show up
try on your machine

The command "ip address show up" is used to display the network interfaces and their corresponding IP addresses that are currently active and operational on a system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "ip" refers to the network management utility in the Linux operating system that allows you to configure and manage network interfaces.
  • "address" is an option that specifies that we want to view IP addresses.
  • "show" is a sub-command that instructs the "ip" command to display information.
  • "up" is an additional option that filters the output to only show interfaces that are currently enabled or "up".

When you execute the "ip address show up" command, it will list all the active network interfaces along with their corresponding IP addresses, subnet masks, and additional networking details. This information is useful for troubleshooting network connectivity issues and configuring networking settings.
