Its not bad if you as questions the right way, for example:

ip command?
Response I got:
| Good start - and great that you’re grounding everything in the FreeBSD
Handbook and man pages.

| Now, to answer your question precisely:
|
| There is no ip command on FreeBSD (that’s a Linux utility from iproute2).

✅| FreeBSD uses ifconfig for network configuration

| To set an IP address on an interface in FreeBSD, you use the ifconfig(8)
command.
So if you ask questions in the right way - you get better results.

Yeah... then you make a typo and the thing would explain you in great
detail how to configure the typo...
If you know what you are asking, you probably know the answer. The
correct answer would be to direct you to the respective documentation,
so that you refresh your memory.
But this is not sexy... and is also so last century.
