Most internet service providers still use IPv4. It’s based on 32 binary bits. Do you know how to find IP address in Linux?

Open the terminal application. Type ifconfig -a or ip addr command Press Enter to run the command.

Ifconfig is a legacy tool that has been around for a long time. It is considered deprecated on newer Linux distributions.

ifconfig: check the IP address of all active network interfaces ifconfig eth0: check the IP address of a specific network interface (e.g., eth0)

IP is a more modern and comprehensive tool for network configuration. It is considered the successor to ifconfig on many Linux distributions.

ip addr: Show IP address for all interfaces ip addr show dev em1: Display information only for device em1
