How to check if my raspberry pi's ip is static?

I found a linux guide, but my interfaces file only has comments in it. Where do I find line telling me if its static or dynamic?

Execute the following command from a terminal:

cat /etc/network/interfaces If your internal IP address is set as dynamic, it should contain:

iface eth0 inet dhcp If the internal IP address is static, the result will contain:

iface eth0 inet static

cat interface

cat conf

The guide you are reading is for some older version of raspbian, e.g. wheezy, with SystemVinit. Newer version of raspbian (jessy) uses SystemD with dhcpcd. It is configured with /etc/dhcpcd.conf. If there is no entry for your interface, it is configured dynamically (with DHCP). In your case all interfaces use DHCP.
