You have to be the root user first...

install rootsh first
then
sudo ifconfig ...
sudo ifup ...
or
sudo gainroot
ifconfig ...
ifup ...
or you can take a risk and do
/sbin/ifconfig ...
/sbin/ifup ...
it might just work if you're only viewing info.

thanks guys. usually when a command requires root, it throws appropiate message like "not permitted".

but this command was in /sbin. iinm, /sbin is only in the executable path of root, and not user.

No need to become root! Nor do you have to add "sbin" to your path. Just prepend the full path to the name of the executable when you run it, e.g.:
$ /sbin/ifconfigI check ifconfig all the time, it has plenty of value as a non-root utility.
