014.01.32.2. What is the significance of the "ip address show" command in the context of configuring network interfaces? How does it relate to the presence of a driver and the configuration status of the device?
ip address show gives us the details of the drivers, the networks to which they are connected and the default IP addresses associated with them. If the driver is present, ip address show includes an entry for the device, even if it hasn't been configured.
The ip address show command in Linux reveals essential details about the network interfaces, including the associated drivers information, connected networks, and default IP addresses. It confirms driver presence, even for unconfigured devices, making it a valuable tool for assessing network interface status.
