You already stated the reason, because it is deprecated. The ifconfig command has been deprecated for many years, but now with the latest OS versions it is more than deprecated, it has been removed. The replacement command for ifconfig is ip addr.

There was a thread with information on this less than a week ago:

Here you go:

echo "alias ifconfig='ip'" >> ~/.bashrc

Ironically alias is also deprecated in bash.

Not gone yet, deprecated means it will be gone, and deprecation in the Linux/Unix/POSIX world tends to last decades and decades

It's gone in some versions. It's been deprecated for quite a while, but few people cared. CentOS 7 removes it, though.

I've got lots of systems without it now!

Me too, but ifconfig is like 32 years old and has been deprecated for 14 years or so... check and mate, SAM

I mean that they ship that way. Actually removed from the OS.

CHECK AND MATE I say! I demand satisfaction! I'm going to have to get my duelling mouse and keyboard.

I have a power glove somewhere you can slap him with.
