In this note i will show how to find the Raspberry Pi’s IP on network. Without a monitor and keyboard (headless) you can find the Raspberry Pi’s IP if you connect it to LAN (Local Area Network). If you use the Raspberry Pi with a monitor, you can check the Pi’s IP from the command line (terminal) by executing the hostname -I command. When Terminal.app is open, type the following command: netstat -nr | grep defaultTo connect to a Raspberry Pi using SSH or VNC, you need to know the Pi’s IP address.Do do this, click Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app. In this example, again, 192.168.1.1 is your default gateway (router) IP address.The output of this should look something like the following:ĭefault via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 proto static.When terminal is open, type the following command: ip route | grep default.Click Applications > System Tools > Terminal. Depending on your Linux distribution, it can be located in the menu items at the top, or at the bottom of your screen. In this example, your default gateway (router) IP address is 192.168.1.1.When Command Prompt is open, type the following command: ipconfig | findstr /i "Gateway" (You can copy & paste it in the command prompt just right-click anywhere in the command prompt window and select Paste.)Ĭ:\Documents and Settings\administrator>ipconfig | findstr /i "Gateway"ĭefault Gateway.Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.It's what you type in your browser address bar to reach the configuration interface (example: ) and, if not, you can find it with the following steps: If you have ever had to access your router to configure it, you should know the address. It's important for you to know the internal IP address of your default gateway, which is normally your router's LAN IP address.
