2018-04-12 23:21:06 Andres Rodriguez description When executing ifconfig, it outputs the whole 10 characters of the interface name. However, when using ifconfig -s (or ifconfig -a -s) it doesn't include all the name of the interface (or 10+ characters). Instead, it outputs only 8 characters of the interface. ubuntu@dradis:~$ ifconfig enP2p1s0f0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.245.71.108 netmask 255.255.248.0 broadcast 10.245.71.255 inet6 fe80::ae1f:6bff:fe09:c052 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether ac:1f:6b:09:c0:52 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 154396 bytes 229982516 (229.9 MB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 60547 bytes 6062897 (6.0 MB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 ubuntu@dradis:~$ ifconfig -s Iface MTU RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg enP2p1s0 1500 154538 0 0 0 61063 0 0 0 BMRU lo 65536 118 0 0 0 118 0 0 0 LRU When executing ifconfig, it outputs the whole 10 characters of the interface name.
