ifconfig command not found
I too had same problem after installation of RHEL,CentOS. Resolved with the following. Type:
vi ~/.bashrc
Press i key to go to insert mode. Write the following to the end of this file
export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
then exit Vi by press :wq!
At the terminal type below command to reflect our changes.
source ~/.bashrc
Now type the command ifconfig , it should work.
ifconfig
exists in the net-tools
package which may not be installed by default;
sudo yum install net-tools
When the package is installed, it will exist as /sbin/ifconfig
.
In some cases. Installing net-tools is not enough directly.
Try this:
apt install net-tools
nano ~/.bashrc
Add this to your bashrc file.
alias ifconfig='/sbin/ifconfig'
Save the file.
source ~/.bashrc
ifconfig
The ifconfig
command has been deprecated so it is not installed by default on many new distros. The replacement is
ip address
You can write a shortcut
ip a
Very handy :)
