Did you try running the ifconfig command and get “command not found”?
As of Debian 9 Stretch, the ifconfig command has been removed. Despite this, it is still possible to use it.
Installing the ifconfig command
The net-tools package will once again enable us to use commands such as ifconfig, route and so on.
apt install net-tools
The net-tools package includes the commands: arp, ifconfig, netstat, rarp, nameif and route.
Extremely useful commands for debugging your network.
