Hello,

Welcome to Webune Support Forums. He we teach you how you can maintain your dedicated Linux servers.

one popular command that administrators must know is the command to show the ip address of the server.

if you are an admin and want to display the ip address of your server, be sure to login as root or super user into your Webune Dedicated Server with Linux.

once you are logged into the Shell Terminal, execute this command to show your assigned ip address:

SHELL COMMAND:
ifconfig


the ifconfig is similar to ipconfig as in windows xp for example. hope this helps you find the ip address linux using ifconfig. the ifconfig stands for iterface configuration... and it shows the ip address commands. you can also use ifconfig to show the eth0 ip address. with the ifconfig command you can even find the ip address default gateway in vmware ip address. it will also displays the ip address subnet maskand ethernet ip address. all this information is useful when you want to configure your UNIX server properly with its correct ip address for routing purposes.

hope that helps
