Windows : How to configure network interface from command line

By | June 6, 2012

Basically, we’ll use the “netsh.exe” builtin utility here to achieve theses tasks.

Show TCP/IP settings :

netsh interface ip show config

Set the interface as DHCP :

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp

Set interface DNS server address :

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 0.0.0.0

Export the current configuration :

netsh -c interface dump > c:\nic.cfg

Import a configuration :

netsh -f c:\nic.cfg
