Mac OS X: getting default route and ip addresses

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/30

On Mac OS X, bare route and ifconfig give way too much information to view the most important things at once.

So I used an alias for this:

route -n get default | grep 'gateway' && echo && ifconfig | grep '\: flags\|inet\|inet6'

Later I needed IPv6 support, so I changed it to:

netstat -nr | grep 'Internet\|Gateway\|default' && echo && ifconfig | grep '\: flags\|inet\|inet6'

So you get something like this:

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags        Refs      Use   Netif Expire
default            192.168.178.1      UGSc           23        0     en4
default            192.168.71.1       UGScI           7        0     en0
Internet6:
Destination                             Gateway                         Flags         Netif Expire
default                                 fe80::3631:c4ff:fe47:13f1%en0   UGc             en0
