For various ip manipulation activities, what is the difference/relationship between iproute2 and modifying the distro's config files?

For instance, some sources recommend ip address del for deleting an address on a network interface, and some sources recommend modifying /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 . Does iproute2 modify the distro's config files?

    Why don't you try it and see ? – user9517 Jul 29 '14 at 10:44
  • @Iain The primary question is whether these two methods are equivalent in their effects and whether they accomplish their effects in a similar manner. The modification of the same config files was simply one specific example. – ChaimKut Jul 29 '14 at 11:06
  • The latter leads to enlightenment about the former. – user9517 Jul 29 '14 at 11:07
