ipconfig is windows in linux the equivalent is "ifconfig -a". However of late, people are using

$ ip a
$ ip address show
$ ip a show wlan0
$ ip a show tun0 #if exist

`ifconfig' is outdated (for instance, it lacks full support for network namespaces), and `ip' is designed for the modern network.

"netstat -an | grep LISTEN" shows you which ports are open.
