local ip adress

[ogg]

hello folks,

who knows a different command to show the local ip-adress on en0? i alwalys use "ifconfig", but i get so much informations i dont need...

Uhm, at least 'ifconfig en0 inet' is one step closer

How to get your local IP address
ifconfig en0 inet | grep 'inet ' | awk ' { print $2 } '

 

[btoneill]

arp `hostname`
[\code]

Hah, beat that for simplicity :)

ipconfig getifaddr en0
No backticks or errors required.

If you need to get your en0 address frequently (i.e. because you are in a DHCP situation), this is the command I would alias in my ~/.*shrc file.
alias 'ipconfig getifaddr en0'

This works fine on my Mac:

ifconfig -a | grep inet | grep "netmask" | grep -v "127.0.0.1" | awk '{print $2}'
