It's usually located in /sbin so:
# /sbin/ifconfig

Some commands to help when you don't know where something is:
which ifconfig
locate ifconfig

As to why it disappeared?  Probably your $PATH environment variable got changed.
If that's the case, you can add this to .bashrc in your home directory:

export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
