# 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).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/ip-address-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
