Explanation

'ifcfg -a' (a reference to 'ifconfig -a') displays configuration information for all network interfaces on the system, including those that are down or not currently connected to a network. This makes it suitable for reading static IP assignments from offline workstations. 'ip show' is not a valid command syntax (the correct form would be 'ip addr show' or 'ip link show'). 'ifcfg -s' (or 'ifconfig -s') shows a brief summary/statistics table rather than full interface details. 'ifname -s' is not a standard Linux networking command.
