In our daily work and study, ifconfig is a frequently used command. Today, according to the output of a server, the output of ifconfig is: www.2cto.com eth0 Link encap: ethernet HWaddr 00: 22: 19: BA: 48: 6B inet addr: 192.168.0.155 Bcast: 192.168.0.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80: 222: 19ff: feba: 486b/64 Scopeink up broadcast running multicast mtu: 1500 Metric: 1 RX packets: 2236269150 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 frame: 0 TX packets: 2096588241 errors: 0 dropped: 0 Overruns: 0 carrier: 0 collisions: 0 txqueuelen: 1000 RX bytes: 1531646830862 (1.3 TiB) TX bytes: 1048289979303 (976.2 GiB) Interrupt: 169 Memory: da000000-da012100 Link encap: this field indicates the name of the network device in the OSI physical layer.
