Ifconfig

gravyjoe

this may be a stupid question, but when using the infconfig command, I don't see the default gateway like I do when I use ipconfig on windows. Maybe I'm just missing it or something. I see an IP address, subnet mask, and broadcast, but not the DG.

It's in fact not there.

The default gateway is not an attribute of the interface but a part of the routing table and can therefore be checked with any of the following commands:

route -n
netstat -rn

See the man pages of these commands for more information

Thanks for the help. I woulda been there forever trying to figure it out.
