Nope. That information is still traditionally managed in several places 
because it wasn't (and some might say still isn't) really that related.

'ifconfig' displays network interface information (IP,netmask,etc).

'netstat -r' displays network routing table information (including 
default route).

the contents of '/etc/resolv.conf' contain your DNS information.

It would be relatively trivial to create a small script which gathers 
that data, reformats it, and prints a Windows-like 'ipconfig' style summary.

Note that the newer 'redhat-config-network' GUIs do pull all that data 
together.
