# IP Address Configuration

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure you understand basic [IP addressing](/networking/ip-address.md).
{% endhint %}

By default, LinuxGSM will use the [0.0.0.0](https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/pages/-MHwYa6YChEiAAUkOznk#0.0.0.0) meta-address. This behavior will allow the game server to bind to **all** interfaces and allow LinuxGSM to [quer](/commands/monitor.md)[y](/commands/monitor.md) all available IP addresses. If there are multiple IP addresses available, [details](/commands/details.md) will display 0.0.0.0. 

Internet IP: LinuxGSM will try to gather the server's internet IP address to be shown in [details](/commands/details.md).

Specific IP: If a specific IP address needs to be set it can be done using the `ip` setting in the [LinuxGSM ](/configuration/linuxgsm-config.md)or [game server ](/configuration/game-server-config.md)config files. Depending upon the game server this will allow it to *bind* to a specific IP address.

Display IP: If you want to change the IP address displayed in *alerts* you can use the [displayip](/alerts.md#display-ip).
