| Diagnose the IP configuration by pinging all network interfaces | netsh diag show test |
|
Do the same thing but display results in GUI |
netsh diag gui |
|
Show Firewall configuration |
netsh firewall show config |
|
Show network interfaces |
netsh interface show interface |
|
Show the current IP configuration |
netsh interface ip show config |
|
Add a DNS server at the position 3 of the interface called Connexion au réseau local |
netsh interface ip add dns "Connexion au réseau local" 1.1.1.0 index=2 |
|
Add the ip address 192.168.1.145 with mask 255.255.255.0 to the interface called Local Area Connection |
netsh interface ip add address "Local Area Connection" 192.168.1.145 255.255.255.0 |
|
Do the same thing as the previous example and specify in addition the default gateway and the metric |
netsh interface ip add address "Local Area Connection" 192.168.5.145 255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.130 gwmetric=2 |
|
Configure an interface called Local Area Connection to be a DHCP client |
netsh set address name="Local Area Connection" source=dhcp |
|
Set the IP configuration of the interface Local Area Connection the static IP address 192.168.5.132 with mask= 255.255.255.128, gateway= 192.168.5.130 and a metric of 1 |
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=192.168.5.132 mask=255.255.255.128 gateway=192.168.5.130 gwmetric=1 |
|
Configure Internet Proxy (Proxy name [proxy_name] and used port [port]) |
Netsh winhttp proxy set [proxy_name]:[port] |
|
Using a script to configure
the interface called Local Area Connection with the
following: Ip configuration: static IP address: 192.168.5.132 Mask: 255.255.255.128 gateway: 192.168.5.130 metric: 1 Primary DNS Server: 192.168.5.129 Enabe dynamic registration of the IP address for the primary DNS Server Secondary DNS Server: 192.168.5.130 Wins Servers: NONE |
1. Create a script file as Conf.scp with contents: # ---------------------------------- # Interface IP Configuration # ---------------------------------- pushd interface ip # Interface IP Configuration for "Local Area Connection" set address name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=192.168.5.132 mask=255.255.255.128 set address name="Local Area Connection" gateway=192.168.5.130 gwmetric=1 set dns name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=192.168.5.129 register=PRIMARY add dns name="Local Area Connection" addr=192.168.5.130 index=2 set wins name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=none popd # End of interface IP configuration 2. Run the command-line: netsh -f Conf.scp |

Rename the connection Local Area Connection to My connection |
netsh interface set interface name="Local Area Connection" newname="My connection" |
|
Disable the connection My connection |
netsh interface set interface name="My connection" admin=disabled |

1.
Create a script
file let say
ConfDcope.scp with this content:# Set the DHCP server context dhcp server 192.168.1.193 # Add a new scope dhcp server add scope 192.168.1.192 255.255.255.192 "SCOPE EURO" "Euro DHCP scope" # Add an Ip range to the previous scope dhcp server \\192.168.1.195 scope 192.168.1.192 add iprange 192.168.1.193 192.168.1.224 # Add exclusion IP range dhcp server \\192.168.1.195 scope 192.168.1.192 add excluderange 192.168.1.193 192.168.1.200 # Add some options (006=DNS servers, 003=Router, 015=DNS Domain Name) dhcp server \\192.168.1.195 set optionvalue 006 IPADDRESS 192.168.1.193 192.168.1.194 dhcp server \\192.168.1.195 set optionvalue 003 IPADDRESS 192.168.1.193 dhcp server \\192.168.1.195 set optionvalue 015 STRING MyDomain.com # Reconcile the scope (reconcile the scope, then the DHCP server and finally authore the DHCP server) dhcp server \\192.168.1.195 scope 192.168.1.192 initiate reconcile dhcp server \\192.168.1.195 initiate reconcile dhcp server \\192.168.1.195 initiate auth2.
