Explanation
macOS is Unix/BSD-based, so the correct command-line tool for viewing and configuring network interfaces-including setting a static IP address-is ifconfig. The ipconfig command is Windows-specific and does not exist natively on macOS. arpa is not a network configuration command (it relates to reverse DNS zones). ping is a connectivity testing tool, not a configuration tool.
