Ifconfig

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. icon_confused.gif

    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 icon_wink.gif
