$ ip -4 addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
group default
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UP group default qlen 1000
    inet 192.168.0.17/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Is there confusion in my Debian 8 between networking setting methods
(ip ves ifconfig)?

I'm in the dark and just following docs and helpful folks like you!

Best,
