By default in Centos 7 minimal installation , ifconfig command is not found, so for obtaining this command , first you need to check which packages yum provide for this.
[root@localhost]# yum provides ifconfig
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Repository 'Packages' is missing name in configuration, using id
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Packages/filelists_db
No matches found
Note: here no packages is installed on the system.
So, using yum we will install the net-tool rpm which is required for ifconfig command
[root@localhost]# yum install net-tools*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
