Linux: How to get a machine's IP address? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Here are ways to get your Linux machine IP address:

/sbin/ifconfig

If you know the name of your Network Interface card, you can specify it in the command and get the results for that specific NIC:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0

Another command is:

/sbin/ip addr

If you know the name of your Network Interface card, you can specify it in the command and get the results for that specific NIC:

/sbin/ip addr show eth0

I think this is the best way:

hostname -i

Bare in mind that in some servers you might have more than one Network Interfacr Cards...
