It's easy, isn't it?

No. Kenneth on this list learned me about the command ip a which is not
mentioned in O'Reilly's Nutshell or the SuSE manual. Ch 21, Basic
Networking in the Reference documentation should include info about how
to find unknown IP addresses of computers in a LAN.

well, Kenneth's command works but I think, the more usual command for
this is:
/sbin/ifconfig

This command is being replaced by the ip command which is why I
suggested it instead. No sense teaching about commands that are not
going to be with us much longer.
