CentOS 7 equivalents to deprecated networking commands

QUESTION

 

Why some of the networking commands don't work on Linux CentOS 7 anymore, while they all worked on CentOS 6 before?

 

ANSWER

 

1. Linux is deprecating the net-tools package in newer versions due to lack of maintenance.

2. Some of the distributions, like CentOS 7 minimal or Ubuntu Docker, don't have net-tools package installed by default.

3. It is recommended to go forward with new command replacements, see further info below:

 

Commonly used networking commands and their equivalents in CentOS 7:

CentOS 6 (old) CentOS 7 (new)
netstat -na ss -l -n
netstat -a ss -a
netstat -nr,  route -n ip r
ifconfig -a ip a
arp -a ip n
