How to find all IP address of a Linux server

To list all configured IP addresses on a server, you can use the command

hostname -I

To find the main IP, use

hostname -I | awk '{print $1}'

You can also use the command “ip addr” to list all IP address.

ip addr | grep "inet "

Example

root@server20 [~]# ip addr | grep "inet "
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet 158.69.53.72/24 brd 158.69.53.255 scope global eth0
    inet 158.69.114.170/32 brd 158.69.114.170 scope global eth0:cp1
    inet 54.39.173.35/32 brd 54.39.173.35 scope global eth0:cp2
root@server20 [~]# 

Another command that lists IP address is ifconfig


root@server20 [~]# ifconfig

        inet 158.69.53.72  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 158.69.53.255
