Linux operating systems have a similar kind of utility called ifconfig, which is a common tool in linux. There are some differences between ipconfig and ifconfig command, however, such as the fact that the DOS/Windows ipconfig does not allow you to make changes to network configuration.

Refer to this thread first : How to define an IP address on Linux
ifconfig (short for interface configurator) is a system administration utility in Unix-like operating systems to configure, control, and query TCP/IP network interface parameters from a command line interface (CLI) or in system configuration scripts. ifconfig originally appeared in 4.2BSD as part of the BSD TCP/IP suite.

Hope this helps.
