If you re a normal user  i e   not  root   ifconfig isn t in your path  but it s the command you want   More specifically   usr sbin ifconfig -a

User · Answer

usr sbin host  hostname    should do the trick  Bear in mind that it s a pretty common configuration for a solaris box to have several IP addresses  though  in which case     usr sbin ifconfig -a inet   awk   inet   print  2     will list them all

hostname and uname will give you the name of the host  Then use nslookup to translate that to an IP address

Try using ifconfig -a  Look for  inet xxx xxx xxx xxx   that is your IP address

usr sbin ifconfig -a   awk  BEGIN   count 0      if    1    inet      count    if  count  2     print  2           This will list down the exact ip address for the machine

There s also   getent  HOSTNAME   or possibly   getent  uname -n    On Solaris 11 the ifconfig command is considered legacy and is being replaced by ipadm  ipadm show-addr   will show the IP addresses on the system for Solaris 11 and later

The following shell script gives a nice tabular result of interfaces and IP addresses  excluding the loopback interface   It has been tested on a Solaris box   usr sbin ifconfig -a   awk   flags   printf  1      inet   print  2     grep -v lo  ce0  10 106 106 108 ce0 1  10 106 106 23 ce0 2  10 106 106 96 ce1  10 106 106 109
