JAKARTA Internet Protocol (IP) addresses must be owned by all electronic devices, even Macs. The reason is, this address is needed to identify devices via the internet or network.

There are several issues related to IP addresses such as Macs that don't want to be connected to other computers or network connectivity that don't want to work. When this happens, you definitely want to check your IP Mac address.

Quoting from Makeuseof, there are two ways you can do to find an IP address. First, you can view it through the Network panel in System Settings. To open the panel, click the Apple menu and select System Settings.

If you want to make it easier, you can press the Command (Cmd) and Spasi keyboard buttons, then look for settings using Spotlight. After that, click the Disdebared Network menu on the left side of the screen and open the Wi-Fi display.

Next, click on the network that is being used until the network name appears at the top. Click the Detail button in the network iconic and network row until the information window appears on the screen. When the information window opens, your IP address will be visible.

The next way you can do to view the IP address is to use a terminal command. Open Terminal first via search on Spotlight, then enter the command to display the IP address via connection.

Enter an orderipconfig getifaddr en0 for a Wi-Fi connection, while Ethernet's connection uses an orderipconfig getifaddr en1. Once the command is received, the Terminal will display your IP Mac address.
