Super neat! I like the straightforward explanation of how ip supercedes other commands, a lot of times it gets confusing seeing the same thing done different ways in different guides. Also the "watch" command is fantastic, watching that video immediately.
this happens because the system is configured to use DHCP and not a static address. so when the interface goes up (through the command, restarting the machine, or plugging in ethernet cable) the system will ask on the network for an IP adress and the DHCP server (which is part of your router for most homes) will reply with an IP lease.
Me as well. Probably because I came from a Unix background. I like the color option mentioned in the comments above though. ifconfig gives a little cleaner output though.
Very valuable bonus tip: if you type “ip -c a” the output is colored and way easier to read, especially in systems with a lot of network interfaces.
Thank you looks a lot easier to read.
Great tip
One of the first things I do on new installations is put alias ip='ip --color=always' in .bashrc. I'll never understand why it isn't on by default.
I haven’t worked with Linux for so long I forgot about it 😅
@@Wampa842 it's probably not default because it might break tools that call the ip program and can't handle colored output.

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing 👍

Bonus tip is to use “ip -br a” which limits the output to just the ip addresses of each adapter. Extra “-4” limits to just the IPv4 addresses.
-br -4 are awesome flags, thanks a lot. so much less clutter that i don't need 9/10 times.
Very nice video...Thank You...
Very useful commands and tips in this video. Do you have any video about more detailed networking.
Hello wonderful person watching Jay's wonderful video.
ip command supports colored output with --color option.
How ip addresse will restore automatically after bringing down and brought up the interfaces even after deleting that ip?

I've always stuck with ifconfig and ifup/down
