The “ifconfig eth0” command is used to display the configuration information of the network interface named eth0 in Linux systems. It provides details about the network interface, including its IP address, netmask, MAC address, and other network-related parameters.
However, please note that the “ifconfig” command is being gradually phased out in favor of the newer “ip” command. Depending on your Linux distribution and version, the “ifconfig” command may or may not be available by default. If it’s not available, you can use the “ip” command as a replacement.
To display the configuration of the network interface eth0 using the “ip” command, you can use the following command:
ip addr show eth0
This command will provide similar information to “ifconfig eth0”, including the IP address, netmask, MAC address, and other details of the eth0 network interface.
