Answer from AI

The ipconfig command is a Windows utility for displaying network interface configurations.

In Linux, the ipconfig command is not available by default and is not used. Instead, other tools are used:

  • ifconfig — a classic command for configuring and viewing network interfaces (may not be installed by default in newer distributions).
  • ip — a modern utility from the iproute2 package that replaces ifconfig and offers extended capabilities.

Example of viewing IP addresses in Linux:

ip addr show

Or

ifconfig

Thus, ipconfig is not used in Linux.
