There's no such command as ipconfig. Most distros still have ifconfig, but from your attached image, it looks as though Red Hat doesn't any more. The tendency everywhere now is to go over to ip. Try ip link show.

In the newer distros within the RHEL / CentOS / Fedora family, ifconfig is usually missing. Instead they try to get you to use ip instead.

The utility ifconfig was old and easy to use. Thus it has been replaced by a new and exceedingly complex utility instead.

Code:

ip addr
man ip

You'll have to look through the manual page for "ip" to get an idea of the options. Do you have a specific task in mind? If so, how was it expressed using "ifconfig"?

Also, isn't RHEL actually with paid support? Where and how is that support falling short?
