How to find the IP address of your Machine using Linux

There are a number of ways to find the IP address. Examples below

1. ifconfig – Deprecated, rather use the ‘”ip'” command

   Input:
   {codecitation style=”brush: shell;”}ifconfig{/codecitation}

   Output:
   {codecitation style=”brush: shell;”}
   eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0c:6e:c5:67:89
   UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
   RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
   TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
   collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
   RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
   Interrupt:23 Base address:0x6c00{/codecitation}

2. Input:
   {codecitation style=”brush: shell;”}ip addr show dev eth0{/codecitation}

   Output
   {codecitation style=”brush: shell”}
   2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000
   link/ether 00:0c:6e:c5:67:89 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
   {/codecitation}

3. Input:
   {codecitation style=”brush: shell;”}ping -I wlan0 www.google.com{/codecitation}

   Output: from 10.0.0.4 is the ip address{codecitation style=”brush: shell;”}
