I remember this problem from back in Red Hat 7.x :-)

Try:-
        ip add
            - lists interface addresses, can also modify them
        ip route
            - lists and sets IP routes
        ip link
            - lists and sets interface link level stuff
        ip neigh
            - lists/sets ARP and similar (neighbour) data

it does lots lots more as well.  Theres even a man page (which is a lot
more than there was in 1999).
