To find out your Linux gateway or router IP address, you can use the ip
command with the route
option. The syntax is as follows:
ip route | grep default
This will display the default route for your network, which is usually the IP address of your gateway or router.
For example, the output might look something like this:
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
In this example, the IP address of the gateway or router is 192.168.1.1
.
You can also use the route
command to display the default route for your network. The syntax is as follows:
route -n
This will display a table of routes, including the default route. Look for the line with the 0.0.0.0
destination and the G
flag, which indicates the default route.
For example, the output might look something like this:
Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
In this example, the IP address of the gateway or router is 192.168.1.1
.
You can also use the netstat
command with the -r
option to display the default route for your network. The syntax is as follows:
netstat -r
This will display a table of routes, including the default route. Look for the line with the 0.0.0.0
destination and the UG
flags, which indicate the default route.
For example, the output might look something like this:
Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
In this example, the IP address of the gateway or router is 192.168.1.1
.
Keep in mind that the IP address of your gateway or router may be different depending on your network configuration. You may need to consult your network administrator or check your router's documentation to find out the correct IP address.
