Finding the IP address of your Raspberry Pi#

Sometimes it can be difficult to find your Raspberry Pi on the network. One way of interacting with the Raspberry Pi is connecting a keyboard, mouse and monitor to it. The preferred method, however, is over SSH. For this, you will need to know the IP address of your Raspberry Pi.

This is a good tutorial on how to find the IP address.


Platform	Strategy
Mac / Linux	Nmap The use of nmap on the Mac may require a software download. Use nmap with the following command: `sudo nmap -sn <subnet>.0/24` Example: `sudo nmap -sn 1-.4.148.0/24` Among other returned values, you will see: `Nmap scan report for ubuntu.silabs.com (10.4.148.44)` `Host is up (0.00025s latency).` `MAC Address: E4:5F:01:7B:CD:12 (Raspberry Pi Trading)` And this is the Raspberry Pi at 10.4.148.44 Arp Alternatively, use Arp with the following command: `arp -a \| grep -i "b8:27:eb\|dc:a6:32"`
Windows	In the command prompt, use `nslookup` to fnd your Raspberry Pi. Example: `nslookup ubuntu`

Connecting to your Raspberry Pi over SSH#


Platform	Strategy
Mac / Linux / Windows	Once you have found your Raspberry Pi's IP address, you can use Secure Shell (SSH) to connect to it over the command line with the following command: `ssh <raspberry pi's username>@<raspberry pi's IP address>` Example: `ssh ubuntu@10.4.148.44` `password: raspberrypi` When prompted provide the raspberry pi's password, in the case of the Silicon Labs Matter Hub image the username is ubuntu and the password is raspberrypi
