A junior administrator is troubleshooting a legacy CentOS 6 file server that still ships only with the net-tools package. The iproute2 utilities are not installed. To bring the eth0 interface up and assign it the address 192.168.10.5/24 from the command line, which legacy utility should the admin run?
route
netstat
ip
ifconfig
ifconfig is the classic net-tools command used to configure network interfaces. It can bring an interface up or down and set parameters such as IP address, netmask, and MTU. Modern distributions prefer the ip utility from iproute2, but on older systems ifconfig remains the appropriate tool. The other commands do not configure interfaces: netstat displays socket and routing data, route manipulates the kernel routing table, and ip is part of iproute2, not net-tools.
