Mac OS X ipconfig. The first thing ipconfig can do for you is quickly give you all your dhcp info: $ ipconfig getpacket en0 op = BOOTREPLY htype = 1 flags = 0 hlen = 6 hops = 0 xid = secs = 0 ciaddr = 0.0.0.0 yiaddr = 192.168.9.30 siaddr = 0.0.0.0 giaddr = 0.0.0.0 chaddr = 0:16:cb:8d:38:f7 sname = file = options: Options count is 7. Here's how to find your MAC address in Windows 10 so you can use it in your router settings. (or 'media access control'). Type in ipconfig /all and press Enter. How to get your local IP address with Ipconfig equivalent for Mac OS X. Ipconfig Mac – Just like you you can open command prompt in Windows and hit “ipconfig” to get your local LAN/WLAN IP address, you have the same option on a Mac in OS X with the command “ifconfig”.

Ipconfig ipconfig/renew Would I still test the loopback address by pinging 127.0.0.1 Excuse the question if it seems stupid, always used mac for specific software, never had to get right into the operating system. Thanks in advance. G4 powerbook Mac OS X (10.3.9). In windows I can use ipconfig /all and this displays all the info about my connection. In terminal using ifconfig does not and only supplies limited info. I can use network manager, but it would be useful to know the command line alternative. So my question is: what is the command line to supply ip address, gateway, subnet mask, DNS the same way ipconfig /all supplies in Windows.

While not terribly expensive to maintain, this does cost me something. If I don't get enough donations to cover that expense, I will be shutting the site down in early 2020.

If you momentarily forget where you are at a Mac OS X terminalsession, you might type 'ipconfig /all' or something equallyWindowish. You will get a response:

usage: ipconfig <command> <args>>
where <command> is one of waitall, getifaddr, ifcount, getoption, getpacket, set, setverbose

What's this? You already know you mistyped: on Mac OS X youprobably meant to run 'ifconfig -a' just as you would on Linux. But'ipconfig' is different, and is actually something goodto have in your bag of tricks.

The first thing ipconfig can do for you is quickly give you allyour dhcp info:

$ ipconfig getpacket en0
op = BOOTREPLY
htype = 1
flags = 0
hlen = 6
hops = 0
xid = 1045997387
secs = 0
ciaddr = 0.0.0.0
yiaddr = 192.168.9.30
siaddr = 0.0.0.0
giaddr = 0.0.0.0
chaddr = 0:16:cb:8d:38:f7
sname =
file =
options:
Options count is 7
dhcp_message_type (uint8): ACK 0x5
subnet_mask (ip): 255.255.255.0
lease_time (uint32): 0x93a80
router (ip_mult): {192.168.9.254}
domain_name_server (ip_mult): {192.168.9.254}
server_identifier (ip): 192.168.9.254
end (none):

There are shortcuts to the items listed under 'options':

$ ipconfig getoption en0 router
192.168.9.254
$ ipconfig getoption en0 domain_name_server
192.168.9.254

'ipconfig getifaddr en0' is a quick way to just get the ip address.You can also use ipconfig with its 'set' options to change an interfacefrom DHCP to manual or vice-versa. That's temporary; it doesn'twrite any start up files.

If you are having difficulty with DHCP, ipconfig has one more use: you can (as root) set verboselogging with 'ipconfig setverbose 1'. With that set, you getminor debugging info written to syslog (/var/log/system.log on my system), but you also get a separateBOOTP/DHCP log in /var/log/com.apple.IPConfiguration.bootp thatshows the full BOOTREQUEST/BOOTREPLY packet negotiation.

Think of ipconfig the next time you are looking for DHCP info ona Mac.
