I'm trying to make my IP address static as I hear it fixes slow browsing issues.
When I click on connection information under the networking menu of the gray taskbar, it tells me about the IP address, subnet mask, and DNS, but nothing about the gateway.
I would like to know if there's a terminal command to find the information.
I have this command as an alias for "ipconfig" (up to 14.04):
nmcli dev list iface eth0 | grep IP4
An example listing is:
IP4-SETTINGS.ADDRESS: 192.168.1.110
IP4-SETTINGS.PREFIX: 24 (255.255.255.0)
IP4-SETTINGS.GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1
IP4-DNS1.DNS: 208.67.222.222
IP4-DNS2.DNS: 208.67.220.220
If eth0 doesn't work, you may need to use eth1, eth2, ... depending on your configuration.
EDIT: 2/8/16
Note that this only works in versions before v15.04 (or possibly before v14.10; I have v14.04). For newer versions, you can use this:
nmcli dev show eth0
