static ip address and ifconfig

2012-12-29 Thread Fbsd8
I don't have static ip address so I can not find out for myself. Lets say I am a company that my ISP has assigned us 25 static ip address. When I issue the ifconfig command what will it show me? Just the single primary static ip address or all 25 of them in a list? Thanks

Well generally DHCP and static are mutually exclusive on the same interface. Also bear in mind that DHCP is more comprehensive than a simple address assignment system. In addition a static reservation is not the same thing as a static IP address assignment on an interface. They are similar but
