You need to get another IT training, lol ...

Kindles are not computers, but e-readers. So you will have to hack the device 1st in order to get console's access.

Also, ipconfig is a Windows command, not Linux. Kindle runs on top Linux. The command for IP info on Linux is ifconfig

And even on Windows, running ipconfig /renew does nothing but renew your DHCP lease, with chances of getting the same IP again. That has nothing to do with the information it can potentially send or not.
