That would be

`ip address show`

Or

`ip a`

If you’re lazy :P

Probably that is just dhcp.
If you want to see current settings

sudo ifconfig  (old command)

Someone might post the  'new' command

If you want to set permanent parameters, just edit 
/etc/network/interfaces.

Some systems have weird designation for the ethernet port. Mine is
enp1s0.

Linux has gotten smarter.  It can now set all that up without user
input.

I'd been using Debian for years (since Sarge), but when they switched
to systemd from sysvinit, I started looking for an alternative.
Luckily, Devuan Beowulf came along and I abandoned Debian.  Happy with
it.  All working well.  And I have a customized system:  no desktop,
just a window manager, a single panel, etc.

All I did to enable sound was to use alsamixer to turn on the master
volume.  Volumes for all sound channels is zero by default.

I probably should have, but on finding no mention of eth0 in the /etc
files, I reinstalled Beowulf with the cable plugged in. It was so
quick
compared to the old days, that am dazed that it's all there. Then
networking just worked ... even though there was still no mention of
eth0.
I hadn't been asked for an ethernet address or subnet mask - it was
all
magic.

I've only had Beowulf for a few hours, but it is immediately
comfortable.
Whoever thought of leaving the release notes on the desktop deserves a
medal. That was the first thing I was going to hunt for, as I'd read
the
note on pulseaudio prior to install. The problem line is commented
out,
but I still have no audio; will have to poke at that a bit. But first
to
move email to the new host, so I can get off this webmail horror.

Thanks for the suggestion. In retrospect I figure it would have
worked.
