A robust correct way to display local ip addresses of the device Gautieji x

A robust correct way to display local ip addresses of the device Gautieji x

[Vaidas BoQsc]

Are there any ways to output only the local ipv4 (inet) addresses of
the device using ip command?

I tired this way and both UNKNOWN, Down are not filtered away. Is my
usage of syntax incorrect?

 ip --brief address show up
lo               UNKNOWN        127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128
enp7s0           DOWN
wlp8s0           UP             192.168.0.103/24 fe80::22c:79e4:a646:a7b/64

  Even so, if enp7s0 and lo were filtered, I would still want an
output of simply 192.168.0.103 from ip command which can't be provided
without piping into other tools?

Hi

Is enp7s0 actually down, or does it just not plugged in?

Example:
ip -br l show wlan0
wlan0            DOWN           b6:91:7e:4e:94:01
<NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>

wlan0 is UP, but has NO-CARRIER, resulting in a state of DOWN.


To filter out ipv6 results, simply only request ipv4:

ip -4 -br a show up
