Well, ifconfig is an older tool. The current much more mighty is ip from
iproute2.

$ ip --help
Usage: ip [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }
where  OBJECT := { link | addr | route | rule | neigh | tunnel |
                   maddr | mroute | monitor }
       OPTIONS := { -V[ersion] | -s[tatistics] | -r[esolve] |
                    -f[amily] { inet | inet6 | ipx | dnet | link } |
-o[neline] }

It will give you much information.

ip addr list   -> lists IP address information
ip route list  -> lists routes and gateways
