Assuming you are looking for the public internet address of your router,
you could try:
/usr/sbin/arp -n
and it may show up on a line with the HWadress of your router.
Nope. That would just show the internal address of the router.
You are mostly correct. However, I have one machine on which the
response to
/usr/sbin/arp -n
shows two lines with the HWaddress of the router, one with the internal
address as you said and the other with the external address. I have no
idea what made arp see the external address.
Thinking of it, a router following the "weak host" model (like Linux
does) can advertise any local address on any interface. It can be tested
with arping. However I am failing to imagine any plausible scenario
which could lead a host on the internal LAN to have the router's
external IP address in its ARP cache. It means that either :
- the host sends an ARP query for the router's external IP address
- the router sends an ARP query to the host from its external IP address
