Question

Can anyone please know any command to get the ip address of the Unix machine i logged to ?

Answer 1

try this code to see the IP address of unix machine

nslookup mach_name

Answer 2

You can use ifconfig to get the IP address of any of the interfaces on the system (note that there may well be more than one interface and more than one IP address).

Start with:

 $ ifconfig -a

Answer 3

An alternative to ipconfig is ip(8) where the output can be narrowed somewhat. For example:

$ ip -f inet addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue 
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    inet 172.31.39.10/24 brd 172.31.39.255 scope global eth0

The interface which is not loopback (lo) is the one you want: 172.31.39.10

Answer 4

use ifconfig and look for the inet part of the output. Note if you have more than one network card (ethernet and wireless for example) there will be more than one entry.
