Explanation
The command ifconfig is used to display the network configuration of the Tunnel Endpoint (TEP) IP on a bare metal transport node2. The TEP IP is assigned to a network interface on the bare metal server that is used for overlay traffic. The ifconfig command can show the IP address, netmask, broadcast address, and other information of the network interface. For example, the following command shows the network configuration of the TEP IP on a bare metal transport node with interface name ens192:
ifconfig ens192
The output of the command would look something like this:
ens192: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.10.10.10 netmask
255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.10.10.255 inet6 fe80::250:56ff:fe9a:1b8c prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether
