The ipconfig command is used on Windows-based systems for checking the configuration of your network interfaces, including IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateway, and DNS servers. On Unix and Unix-like systems such as Linux or macOS, ifconfig was traditionally used but is now being replaced by the ip command. netstat is used to display network connections and routing tables, but not for viewing the details of network adapter configurations. tracert is used to determine the route taken by packets across a network.
