Hi

Is enp7s0 actually down, or does it just not plugged in?

Example:
ip -br l show wlan0
wlan0            DOWN           b6:91:7e:4e:94:01
<NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>

wlan0 is UP, but has NO-CARRIER, resulting in a state of DOWN.


To filter out ipv6 results, simply only request ipv4:

ip -4 -br a show up
