+## Confirming IP Addresses are Correctly Configured
+
+Our platform's [Network Helper](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/network-helper/) tool automatically configures the internal network settings of your instance's Linux system. This ensures changes made to your IP addresses within Cloud Manager are also made internally on your instance. If you decide not to use Network Helper or are using a custom unsupported distribution, you need to manually configure your system's networking. In this case, review the [Manual Network Configuration on a Compute Instance](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/manual-network-configuration/) guide.
+
+To verify that your IP addresses are correctly configured, run the `ip` command on your instance (see [man pages reference](https://linux.die.net/man/8/ip)), specifically `ip a show` (`ip addr show`). For more information on using this command, see our [Use the ip Command in Linux](/docs/guides/how-to-use-the-linux-ip-command/#how-to-find-your-ip-address) guide.
