How to see gateway on linux

To see the gateway on Linux, you can use the ip command. Here are the steps to do so:

  1. Open a terminal: Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open a terminal window. This is where you will enter the commands.

  2. Check the network interface: Use the ip addr command to display information about the network interfaces on your system. Look for the interface that you are using to connect to the network (e.g., eth0, wlan0, etc.).

  3. Check the routing table: Use the ip route command to display the routing table. The routing table contains information about how network packets should be forwarded. Look for the line that starts with default or 0.0.0.0. The gateway IP address will be listed next to it.

Here is an example of what the output might look like:

default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0

In this example, the gateway IP address is 192.168.1.1.

That's it! You have now seen the gateway on Linux using the ip command.
