[android] adb command for getting ip address assigned by operator

I need to fetch the IPaddress assigned by the operator after a successful 3G or LTE data call.

$adb shell netcfg >> doesnt have the assigned IP address.

I tried adb shell dumpsys and grep ip address, but in vain. Any help/pointers?

ip route | grep rmnet_data0 | cut -d" " -f1 | cut -d"/" -f1

Change rmnet_data0 to the desired nic, in my case, rmnet_data0 represents the data nic.

To get a list of the available nic's you can use ip route

You can get the device ip address by this way:

adb shell ip route > addrs.txt
#Case 1:Nexus 7
#192.168.88.0/23 dev wlan0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.89.48

#Case 2: Smartsian T1,Huawei C8813
#default via 192.168.88.1 dev eth0  metric 30
#8.8.8.8 via 192.168.88.1 dev eth0  metric 30
#114.114.114.114 via 192.168.88.1 dev eth0  metric 30
#192.168.88.0/23 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.89.152 metric 30
#192.168.88.1 dev eth0  scope link  metric 30

ip_addrs=$(awk {'if( NF >=9){print $9;}'} addrs.txt)

echo "the device ip address is $ip_addrs"

download this app from here it will help you to rum all commands. I have run netcfg and it gives the result as attached in screen.

According to comments: netcfg was removed in Android 6

Try

adb shell netcfg

Or

adb shell <device here or leave out if one device>
shell@android:/ $netcfg

For IP address- adb shell ifconfig under wlan0 Link encap:UNSPEC you will have your ip address written

Try this command for Version <= Marshmallow,

adb devices

List of devices attached 38ccdc87 device

adb tcpip 5555

restarting in TCP mode port: 5555

adb shell ip addr show wlan0

24: wlan0: mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen 1000 link/ether ac:c1:ee:6b:22:f1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.18/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global wlan0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fd01::1d45:6b7a:a3b:5f4d/64 scope global temporary dynamic valid_lft 287sec preferred_lft 287sec inet6 fd01::aec1:eeff:fe6b:22f1/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 287sec preferred_lft 287sec inet6 fe80::aec1:eeff:fe6b:22f1/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

To connect to your device run this

adb connect 192.168.0.18

connected to 192.168.0.18:5555

Make sure you have adb inside this location android-sdk\platform-tools

Try this command, it will help you to get ipaddress

adb shell ifconfig tiwlan0

tiwlan0 is the name of the wi-fi network interface on the device. This is generic command for getting ipaddress,

 adb shell netcfg

It will output like this

usb0     DOWN  0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0×00001002
sit0     DOWN  0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0×00000080
ip6tnl0  DOWN  0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0×00000080
gannet0  DOWN  0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0×00001082
rmnet0   UP    112.79.87.220   255.0.0.0       0x000000c1
rmnet1   DOWN  0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0×00000080
rmnet2   DOWN  0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0×00000080

You also can try this:

Step 1: adb shell Step 2: ip -f inet addr show wlan0

To get all IPs (WIFI and data SIM) even on a non-rooted phone in 2019 use:

adb shell ip -o a

The output looks like:

1: lo    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo\       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
1: lo    inet6 ::1/128 scope host \       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: dummy0    inet6 fe80::489c:2ff:fe4a:00005/64 scope link \       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
11: rmnet_data1    inet6 fe80::735d:50fb:2e2:0000/64 scope link \       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
21: r_rmnet_data0    inet6 fe80::e38:ce2a:523a:0000/64 scope link \       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
30: wlan0    inet 192.168.178.0/24 brd 192.168.178.255 scope global wlan0\       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
30: wlan0    inet6 fe80::c2ee:fbff:fe4a:0000/64 scope link \       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

You can connect either through adb shell or run the comman ip -o a directly in a terminal emulator. Again, no root required.

adb shell ip addr > ippdetails.txt This will get all list of ip's assigned to devices.

Try:

adb shell ip addr show rmnet0

It will return something like that:

3: rmnet0: <UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc htb state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    link/[530]
    inet 172.22.1.100/29 scope global rmnet0
    inet6 fc01:abab:cdcd:efe0:8099:af3f:2af2:8bc/64 scope global dynamic
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::8099:af3f:2af2:8bc/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 

This part is your IPV4 assigned by the operator

inet 172.22.1.100

This part is your IPV6 assigned by the operator

inet6 fc01:abab:cdcd:efe0:8099:af3f:2af2:8bc

Try:

adb shell ip addr show rmnet0  | grep 'inet ' | cut -d' ' -f6|cut -d/ -f1

It will return your IPV4 assigned by the operator

172.22.1.215
