ifconfig
is a command in Unix-like operating systems like Linux[1], FreeBSD, OpenBSD, macOS for Ethernet network interface configuration.
In macOS, the ifconfig
command functions as a wrapper to the IPConfiguration agent, and can control the BootP and DHCP clients from the command-line. Use of ifconfig
to modify network settings in Mac OS X is discouraged, because ifconfig
operates below the level of the system frameworks which help manage network configuration. To change network settings in Mac OS X from the command line, use /usr/sbin/ipconfig
or /usr/sbin/networksetup
.
ifconfig
command is included in the net-tools
package but not installed by default in RHEL since version 7[2].
Configuring an alias IP[edit]
Activities[edit]
- Show interface configuration in Linux including ip addresses:
ifconfig -a
orip a
- Show interface Ethernet network capabilities of your interface, such as speed, with:
mii-tool -v YOUR_INTERFACE_NAME
,mii-tool -v eth0
- Show all network interfaces in Linux:[3]
- Learn about Linux Naming Schemes Hierarchy.
- Change your MAC address:
ifconfig {eth0|wlan0} hw ether CA:CA:CA:CA:CA:CA
- macOS:
ipconfig getifaddr en0
Related[edit]
ifconfig -v
docker inspect CONTAINER_NAME | grep IPAddress
- Linux:
hostname -I
,hostname -i
anpi0 anpi1 anpi2 ap1 awdl0 bridge0 en0 en1 en2 en3 en4 en5 en6 gif0 llw0 lo0 stf0 utun0 utun1 utun2 utun3
