Hello,

Is there a way to check what IP addresses my Jolla retrieved from DHCP when connected to a WLAN? I'd like to find out the IP address, subnet, gateway and DNSes.

Thanks.

you could also use the "IP Address" App, available in the store.

Yes, I looked at this app. Unfortunately, it shows only the IP address.

If you have developer mode you can just look into the developer mode UI in settings. The ip is shown there too.

Yes, I saw that. But (1) if I recall correctly it shows only the IP and (2) doesn't it feel strange to check the IP address in the Developer Mode menu (and only after actually enabling the mode)? Thanks for the answer anyway.

IP:
/sbin/ifconfig -a
gateway:
/bin/netstat -rn
in terminal

Is ifconfig still functional? As far as I know its been deprecated for years and was succeeded by 'ip addr' (i have no device with me to check.)

yes, ifconfig still works (as far as i can remember, i haven't had a single linux device/os where it didn't)

dmnk ( 2015-02-11 12:18:45 +0300 )edit

On modern Linux OS (this leaves out stable Debian) there should be no more ifconfig, route, etc. and only the Tool ip. See also:

from terminal run:

ip addr
ip route

Thanks for your answers guys, but doesn't it feel to you like an overkill to be forced to (1) enable the Developer Mode and (2) run two commands in the terminal, in order to check (imo) some basic info about the network interface? For me using the Terminal always feels like the last resort.
