link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: ens18: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether ab:cd:de:12:34:56 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
altname enp0s18
inet 192.168.1.100/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global ens18
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::be24:11ff:abde:1234/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
In this case the interface name is ens18 and the IP address is 192.168.1.100.
