To find the subnet mask of your network interface on a Unix-like system, you can use the ifconfig
command with the name of your network interface.
For example, to display the subnet mask of the eth0
interface, you can use the following command:
ifconfig eth0
This will display the subnet mask of the eth0
interface, along with other information about the interface such as its IP address, MAC address, and the status of the interface.
The subnet mask is usually displayed in the form of a dotted decimal notation, such as "255.255.255.0".
You can also use the ip
command to display the subnet mask of your network interface. For example:
ip addr show eth0
This will display the subnet mask of the eth0
interface, along with other information about the interface such as its IP address, MAC address, and the status of the interface.
You can find more information about the ifconfig
and ip
commands and their options in the ifconfig
and ip
documentation or by running the ifconfig --help
and ip --help
commands.
