Ifconfig does not show my IP [closed]
When i'm putting the code on: ifconfig
ifconfig results in a terminal shows:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr: f8:a9:63:64:3f:1c
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
colisions: 0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Does not show my Itnet addr, bcast and mask!
What's that supposed to mean?
Solution 1:
The interface eth0 is up, so the underlying device is found. There no IP address associated to this interface.
Assign an ip address manually:
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 w.x.y.z
Or contact the DHCP server, if it exists, and let it provides an ip address for the interface:
$ sudo dhclient -v eth0
If something goes wrong, dhclient will print error messages. They should be used to troubleshoot.

If the system just booted, then there could be a missing configuration or a mistake in interfaces configuration.
In order to fix issues of interfaces setting at boot or If you would like to make the settings persistent over the reboot:
man interfaces- edit
/etc/network/interfacesfile
