For online forums it is best to use a terminal so you get text suitable for
posting. On a system using ethernet, I see:
% ip ad
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group
default qlen 1000
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 noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp4s0f0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP
group default qlen 1000
link/ether 68:5b:35:9d:59:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.2.21/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global noprefixroute
enp4s0f0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::a832:eb9d:2694:1a02/64 scope link noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
My internet provider doesn't support IPv6. The IPv4 address is
192.168.2.21. The 192.168 prefix is
non-routable, so all connections have to originate with your system. Most
home users don't need
IPv6, but that may be changing as IPv4 addresses are getting scarce and
expensive.
