Which Linux OS are you running on? For example, in CentOS/Red Hat it is provided by the net-tools package, that is installed by default. I would tell you to verify the status of the package, but more information is needed.

Its RHEL6

I'd start to verify the package by means of

Code:

rpm -V net-tools

and if it's not installed try

Code:

yum whatprovides '*/ifconfig'

Did you check:

Code:

~$ cd /usr/sbin/ifconfig

Maybe also check to see if the 'ip' command works as your distribution maybe using it instead of ifconfig.
