Knowing the IP address of the default gateway  (usually a router ) on a home or business network is important information to successfully troubleshoot a network problem or gain access to the router's web-based management. In most cases, the default gateway IP address is the private IP address assigned to the router. This is the address that the router uses to communicate with a local home network.

Instructions in this article apply to Windows 10 through Windows XP. There are also directions for macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

How to Find Your Default Gateway IP Address in Windows

The default gateway IP address is stored in the Windows network settings, and it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to locate it.

These instructions find the default gateway IP address on wired and wireless home and small business networks. Larger networks, with more than a single router and simple network hubs , may have more than one gateway and more complicated routing.

Open Control Panel , accessible from the Start menu in most versions of Windows.

To shorten this process on Windows 10 or 8.1, select WIN+X to open the Power User menu , and select Network Connections . Then, skip to Step 4 (Windows 10) or Step 5 (Windows 8).

Select Network and Internet . In Windows XP, select Network and Internet Connections .

If the Control Panel view is set to Large icons, Small icons, or Classic View, select Network and Sharing Center , then go to Step 4. In Windows XP, select Network Connections and skip to Step 5.

In the Network and Internet window, select Network and Sharing Center . In Windows XP, select Network Connections and skip to Step 5.

Select Change adapter options . In Windows 8 and 7, choose Change adapter settings . In Windows Vista, select Manage network connections .

Locate the network connection for the default gateway IP. On most Windows computers, a wired network connection is labeled as Ethernet or Local Area Connection, a wireless network connection is labeled as Wi-Fi or Wireless Network Connection.

Windows can connect to multiple networks at the same time, so there may be several connections. If the network connection is working, exclude any connection that is not connected or disabled. To determine which connection to use, go to Details view and note the information in the Connectivity column.

Double-click the network connection to open a status dialog box.

If Properties, Devices and Printers, another window, or a notification appears, the network connection does not have a status, meaning it's not connected to a network or the internet. Go to Step 5 and look for a different connection.

Select Details . In Windows XP, go to the Support tab, then select Details .

In the Property column, locate IPv4 Default Gateway , IPv6 Default Gateway , or Default Gateway , depending on the network type.

The default gateway IP address being used by Windows appears in the Value column.

If no IP address is listed, the connection you chose in Step 5 may not be the one Windows is using to connect to the internet. Go back to Step 5 and choose another connection.

Make a note of the IP address. You can now use it to troubleshoot a connection problem, to access the router, or perform other tasks.

How to Find Your Default Gateway IP Address Via IPCONFIG

The ipconfig command is a quick way to find the default gateway IP address. Use this method if you're experienced working with commands in Windows.

Open Command Prompt .

Enter ipconfig and select Enter .

Go to the Default Gateway entry to find the IP address.

Here's an example result where the default gateway for the Ethernet connection is listed as 192.168.86.1 .

If this is too much information, enter ipconfig | findstr "Default Gateway" and select Enter . This trims down the data that's returned in Command Prompt. However, this method is only helpful if you have one active connection, since multiple connections would show the default gateways with no more context on what connection they apply to.

How to Find Your Default Gateway on a Mac or Linux PC

On macOS, there are two ways to find the default gateway: through a graphical program and using the command line.

The easiest way is through System Preferences. Select Network, choose the network connection you're using, then choose Advanced . Select the TCP/IP tab and locate the IP address next to Router .

Another way is to use the netstat command . Open a terminal, type this, and then select Enter :

To display the default gateway IP on most Linux-based computers, enter this in a terminal window:

How to Locate the Default Gateway on iPhone or Android

On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap the small (i) next to the network you're connected to. Next to Router is the default gateway.

Directions for Android depends on the version. See TuneComp's website for specific details, or try these general steps: swipe down from the top of the screen and press-and-hold Internet , or the Wi-Fi icon. Then, tap the settings icon next to the network and read the address next to Gateway (you might need to open an Advanced menu on some devices).

Use Default IP Address Assigned by Router Maker

Unless you've changed the router's IP address, or your computer connects directly to a modem to access the internet, the default gateway IP address used by your computer and other devices will never change.

If you can't locate the default gateway, use the default IP address assigned by your router maker, which probably hasn't changed. Check out our updated Linksys default password list , D-Link default password list , Cisco default password list , and NETGEAR default password list to find the default password for your router.

To change your IP address in Windows, go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter options > Wi-Fi > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) . On a Mac, go to System Preferences > Network , choose a network, and select Advanced . Then, go to the TCP/IP tab and select Manually .

To hide your IP address from websites, use a virtual private network (VPN) . A VPN allows you to choose an IP address in another country. That way, you can access content blocked in certain regions, and no one can trace your internet history.

If you want to find a website's IP address , you can use the Ping command , or use a website like WHO.IS or WhatsMyIPAddress.com.

How to configure a static IP on Windows 10 or 11

Do you need to switch from a dynamic to a static IP address configuration on Windows 11 or 10? Here's how.

Windows 11 static IP

  • Windows 11 static IP
  • Windows 10 static IP

On Windows, the router's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is (usually) responsible for assigning a dynamic Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) configuration to every device in the network, including to your computer running Windows 11 or Windows 10.

Although a dynamic IP address is the recommended configuration for most situations, you may need to change to a static IP address if you're thinking about setting up a printer or file sharing, or you have to configure port forwarding on the router to your computer.

The reason is that a dynamic network configuration can change at any time after the lease from the DHCP expires and if the address changes, network resources you may have configured will stop working. Setting a static IP address will always stay the same on the computer, allowing a more reliable experience sharing resources in the network or forwarding ports.

Whatever the reason, on Windows 10 and 11, you have many ways to configure a static TCP/IP address, including using the Settings app and Command Prompt.

This guide will walk you through the different ways to configure a static network configuration on Windows 11 and 10.

How to set a static TCP/IP network configuration on Windows 11

On Windows 11, you can change your computer's dynamic IP configuration to static in at least two ways through the Settings app or commands.

Configure IP from Settings app

To assign a permanent TCP/IP configuration on Windows 11, use these steps:

  • Open  Settings .
  • Click on  Network & internet .
  • (Optional) Click on Advanced network settings .
  • Under the "More settings" section, click on Hardware and connection properties.
  • Note the current IPv4 ,  Subnet mask ,  Default Gateway , and  DNS server addresses to determine the new configuration, as it has to be in the same network scope.
  • Click the  Ethernet  or  Wi-Fi  page on the right side from the "Network & internet." page.
  • Quick note:  If you select the Wi-Fi page, you need to click on the connection properties to access the network settings.
  • Click on the  Edit  button for the "IP assignment" setting.
  • Select the  Manual  option from the drop-down menu.
  • Turn on the  IPv4  toggle switch.
  • Confirm the IP address for the computer – for example, 10.1.4.90.
  • Confirm the subnet mask for the configuration – for example, 255.255.255.0.
  • Confirm the default gateway address (usually your router's IP) – for example, 10.1.4.1.
  • Confirm the preferred DNS address – for example, 10.1.4.1.
  •   Quick note:  In a home network, you may also be able to use the router's IP address for the DNS configuration. You can also use third-party DNS services like Google Public DNS, Cloudflare, Cisco's OpenDNS, and others. 
  • (Optional) Select the  "On (automatic template)"  option for the "DNS over HTTPS" setting and leave the  "Fallback to plaintext"  option disabled unless you want to encrypted as well as unencrypted traffic or you're troubleshooting connectivity.
  • Quick note:  DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is a feature that encrypts the DNS queries over the HTTPS protocol to improve security and privacy on the internet. You only want to enable this feature if the DNS server supports this feature.
  • Confirm the alternate DNS address (if applicable).
  • (Optional) Select the  "On (automatic template)"  option for the "DNS over HTTPS" setting and leave the  "Fallback to plaintext"  option disabled.
  • Click the  Save  button.

Once you complete the steps, the computer will start using the static network configuration. If everything has been configured correctly, you should be able to open the web browser to access the internet.

If you entered an address (such as the DNS address) and then changed it, you probably won't be able to save the settings. If this is the case, cancel the configuration, start over, enter the correct configuration, and then try to save the settings.

Configure IP from Command Prompt

To set a static TCP/IP configuration on Windows 11, use these steps:

  • Open  Start .
  • Search for  Command Prompt , right-click the top result, and select the  Run as administrator  option.
  • Type the following command to see your current networking configuration and press  Enter : ipconfig /all
  • Confirm the name of the adapter and the networking configuration, including the IPv4 , Subnet mask , Default Gateway , and DNS Servers .
  • Type the following command to configure a static TCP/IP address and press  Enter :  netsh interface ip set address name= "ADAPTER-NAME" static IP-ADDRESS SUBNET-ADDRESS DEFAULT-GATEWAY-ADDRESS

In the above command, replace  ADAPTER-NAME  with the name of your network adapter. Change  IP-ADDRESS SUBNET-ADDRESS    DEFAULT-GATEWAY-ADDRESS  with the device IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway addresses you want. For example, this command sets the 10.1.4.90, 255.255.255.0, 10.1.4.1 configuration:  netsh interface ip set address name="Ethernet 10Gb" static 10.1.4.90 255.255.255.0 10.1.4.1

  • Type the following command to set a DNS server address and press  Enter :  netsh interface ip set dns name="ADAPTER-NAME" static DNS-ADDRESS  

In the command, change  ADAPTER-NAME  with your adapter's name and  DNS-ADDRESS  with the DNS server address of the network. For example, this command sets the local router as the DNS server:  netsh interface ip set dns name="Ethernet 10Gb" static 10.1.4.1

  • Type the following command to set an alternate DNS server address and press  Enter :  netsh interface ip add dns name="ADAPTER-NAME" DNS-ADDRESS index=2

In the command, change  ADAPTER-NAME  with the adapter's name and  DNS-ADDRESS  with an alternate DNS server address. For example, netsh interface ip add dns name="Ethernet 10Gb" 1.1.1.1 index=2

After you complete the steps, the commands will set a static network configuration on Windows 11.

How to set a static TCP/IP network configuration on Windows 10

On Windows 10, you can also use the Settings app and Command Prompt to set up a static IP network configuration.

To assign a permanent TCP/IP configuration on Windows 10, use these steps:

  • Click on  Ethernet  or  Wi-Fi .
  • Click on the active connection on the right side.
  • Click the  Edit  button for the "IP assignment" setting.
  • Select the  Manual  option.
  • Confirm the subnet prefix length (subnet mask) for the configuration – for example, 24 to specify the 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.
  • Quick tip:  It's important to use the number that represents the network instead of the subnet mask. Otherwise, the configuration won't save. If you don't know the subnet prefix length for your subnet mask, you can use any  online subnet calculator  to find out.

Once you complete the steps, Windows 10 will start using the static IP configuration. If you lose network connectivity, restart the computer to regain access to the local network and internet.

To change from dynamic to static IP address with commands on Windows 10, use these steps:

In the command, change  ADAPTER-NAME  with your adapter's name and  DNS-ADDRESS  with the DNS server address of the network. For example, this command sets the local router as the DNS server:  netsh interface ip set dns name=" Ethernet 10Gb" static 10.1.4.1

In the command, change  ADAPTER-NAME  with the adapter's name and  DNS-ADDRESS  with an alternate DNS server address. For example, netsh interface ip add dns name="Ethernet0" 1.1.1.1 index=2

After you complete the steps, the network configuration will switch from dynamic to static on Windows 10.

how to set ip gateway

How-To Geek

How to change your ip address from the command prompt in windows.

It's easy enough to change an IP address on your PC using Control Panel, but did you know you can also do it from the Command Prompt?

Quick Links

Launch command prompt as admin to use netsh, view your network information with command prompt, change your ip address, subnet mask, and default gateway, change your dns settings in command prompt, key takeaways.

  • You must launch Command Prompt, PowerShell, or Terminal as admin to use netsh.
  • Use the "netsh interface ipv4 show config" command to find the full name of the network interface you want to change.
  • Modify your IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using the command "netsh interface ipv4 set address". You can also change DNS settings using "netsh interface ipv4 set dns".

Changing your IP address with the Control Panel interface isn't difficult, but it does require clicking through a number of different windows and dialog boxes. If you're a fan of the Command Prompt, though, you can get it done more quickly using the netsh command, which is just one of the great network utilities built into Windows .

We're going to use the netsh command, but it requires that Command Prompt be launched as administrator to work. The netsh command allows you to configure just about any aspect of your network connections in Windows.

To launch Command Prompt (or PowerShell) as Admin, open up the Start Menu, search "cmd," hover over the result, then click "Run as Administrator."

Run Command Prompt as administrator.

In Windows 10 or Windows 11, you can also right-click the Start menu (or press Windows+X on your keyboard) to open the Power User Menu and choose "PowerShell (Admin)."

You can (and should ) use PowerShell for this instead.

Before you change your IP address and related information, you'll need to find the full name of the network for the interface you want to change. To do this, type the following command:

netsh interface ipv4 show config

The output of netsh interface ipv4 show config. The Wi-Fi adapter is highlighted in red.

Scroll down until you see the interface you're looking for. In our example, we're going to modify the Wi-Fi interface, which on our machine is just named "Wi-Fi." You'll also see other default names that Windows assigns to interfaces, such as "Local Area Connection," "Local Area Connection* 2," and "Ethernet." Just find the one you're looking for and make note of the exact name. You can also copy and paste the name to Notepad and then back into Command Prompt later to make things easier.

With the interface name in hand, you're ready to change the IP Address, subnet mask, and gateway. To do this, you'll issue a command using the following syntax:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name="YOUR INTERFACE NAME" static IP_ADDRESS SUBNET_MASK GATEWAY

So, for example, your command might look something like the following:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Wi-Fi" static 192.168.3.8 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.1

Where the info is replaced by whatever you want to use. In our example, the command does the following:

  • Uses the interface name "Wi-Fi"
  • Sets the IP address to 192.168.3.1
  • Sets the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
  • Sets the default gateway to 192.168.3.1

And if you're using a static IP address but want to switch to using an IP address assigned automatically by a DHCP server — such as your router — you can use the following command instead:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name="YOUR INTERFACE NAME" source=dhcp

You can also use the netsh command to change the DNS servers used by a network interface. Third-party DNS servers — like Google Public DNS and OpenDNS —can be faster and more reliable than the DNS servers provided by your ISP. Whatever your reason for changing your DNS server , you can do it either at the router so it affects all the devices that get their information from the router or at the individual device. If you want to change the DNS servers for just one PC, it's easy to do with the netsh command.

You'll need to use the command twice: once to set your primary DNS server and once to set your secondary, or backup, DNS server. To set your primary DNS server, use the following syntax:

netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="YOUR INTERFACE NAME" static DNS_SERVER

So, for example, your command might look something like the following (in which we set it to Google's primary public DNS server, 8.8.8.8):

netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="Wi-Fi" static 8.8.8.8

To set your secondary DNS server, you'll use a very similar command:

netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="YOUR INTERFACE NAME" static DNS_SERVER index=2

So, continuing our example, you might set your secondary DNS as the Google Public DNS secondary server, which is 8.8.4.4:

netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="Wi-Fi" static 8.8.4.4 index=2

And just like with the IP address, you can also change it so that the network interface grabs its DNS settings automatically from a DHCP server instead. Just use the following command:

netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers name"YOUR INTERFACE NAME" source=dhcp

And there you have it. Whether you like typing at the command prompt better or just want to impress your coworkers, now you know all the command line magic you need for changing your IP address settings.

How can I add a default gateway with the ip command, not the route command?

I want to set a default gateway using the ip route command, since I'm under the impression that ip is newer and preferred. If I'm not mistaken, ip is included in a minimal CentOS installation and not route .

What's the equivalent of route add default gw 192.168.1.254 eth0 using ip route add ?

royco's user avatar

Try ip route add default via <host> dev <dev>, e.g.:

Or you can replace the existing default route:

How to manually configure IP adress and default gateaway adress

So, I'm trying to configure hostednetwork, basically my laptop is connected to the internet through a CAT Ethernet cable, and I make a wlan hotspot, so I can connect to the internet through my phone. I configured it simular to this . It works most of the time, sometimes I have to disconnect the cable, reconnect it, disable the network device and reenable it again, and then it works, however while playing with it. I changed something.

Windows UI ipv4 properties

There was a manual configuration ip, subnet mask, and default gateway written down, which worked before, but I changed it to "Obtain an IP adress automatically", as soon as I did this I started to get other kinds of errors. I don't remember the original IP adress, subnet mask and default gateway, but keep in mind that I do have connection to the internet through the laptop, but devices that connect to the Computer's wifi have issues.

On Android when (connected to my computer's wifi), I ping 1.1.1.1 I find: From 192.168.137.191: icmp_seq=XX Destination Host Unreachable

on Windows instead what I get when I do treaceroute is 1 Transmit error: code 1231

So maybe I can do something about it if I configure the IP address manually again? How can I find out where the problem is?

How to set a static IP address on Windows 11

Here are the steps to set a static IP address on Windows 11 with Command Prompt, PowerShell, Control Panel, and Settings.

Avatar for Mauro Huculak

UPDATED 7/21/2023: On Windows 11, a static IP address is a network configuration that never changes, making it the preferred option to share files , a printer on a local network , or configure port forwarding.

Usually, when a computer connects to the network, it receives a dynamic IP address assigned by the local Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The only problem is that this configuration can change at any time, as soon as you restart the computer or after the settings expire, and this can cause services like port forwarding and remote desktop to stop working. A static network configuration always maintains the same settings, making it ideal for hosting services that other users can access through the network.

This guide will teach you how to set a static IP (version 4) address on Windows 11 . (See also this video tutorial with the steps to complete this task.)

Assign static IP address on Windows 11 from Command Prompt

Assign static ip address on windows 11 from powershell, assign static ip address on windows 11 from settings, assign static ip address on windows 11 from control panel.

To set a static IP address on Windows 11 with Command Prompt, use these steps:

Open Start on Windows 11.

Search for Command Prompt , right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.

Type the following command to see your current networking configuration and press Enter :

Under the network adapter, note the name of the adapter as well as the following information in these fields:

  • Subnet mask
  • Default Gateway
  • DNS Servers

Windows 11 ipconfig all command

Type the following command to assign a static IP address on Windows 11 and press Enter :

In the above command, replace “Ethernet0” with the name of your network adapter. Change “10.1.4.119 255.255.255.0 10.1.4.1” with the device IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address corresponding to the local area network.

Type the following command to set a DNS server address and press Enter :

In the command, make sure to change “Ethernet0” with your adapter’s name and “10.1.4.1” with the DNS server address of the network.

Type the following command to set an alternate DNS server address and press Enter :

In the command, change “Ethernet0” with the adapter’s name and “8.8.8.8” with an alternate DNS server address.

Windows 11 netsh command to set static IP address

After completing the steps, you can use the ping command (for example ping google.com ) to see if the configuration works correctly.

You can use PowerShell with the “NetTCPIP” module to manage networking settings, including changing the IP address settings to a static configuration.

To set a static IP address with PowerShell, use these steps:

Open Start .

Search for PowerShell , right-click the result, and select the Run as administrator option.

Type the following command to view your current network configuration and press Enter :

Get-NetIPConfiguration

Confirm the following network information: 

  • InterfaceIndex
  • IPv4Address
  • IPv4DefaultGateway

Type the following command to set a static IP address and press Enter :

PowerShell assign static IP address

In the command, replace the “InterfaceIndex” number (10) with the corresponding number of your adapter. Change “IPAddress” with the static IP address you want to assign to your device. Change “PrefixLength” (subnet mask) with the correct bit number if necessary. Typically, on a home network, the setting is “24.” Also, change the “DefaultGateway” option with the default gateway address of the network.

Type the following command to assign a DNS server address and press Enter :

PowerShell assign static DNS address

If you need to set a secondary DNS server address, use a comma to use the same command with another address. For example:

In the command, replace the “InterfaceIndex” number (10) with your network adapter’s corresponding number. Also, change “ServerAddresses” with the DNS IP address.

Once you complete the steps, the new network configuration will apply to the computer.

Regardless of your chosen method, always assign a TCP/IP address in the network range and outside of the DHCP server scope to allow proper connectivity and avoid configuration conflicts. The reason is that multiple computers sharing the same address will cause problems, preventing them from connecting to the internet.

On Windows 11, you can set a static IP address configuration from the Settings app for wireless and wired adapters.

Set static IP address on Wi-Fi adapter

To assign a static IP address configuration to a Wi-Fi adapter, use these steps:

Open Settings on Windows 11.

Click on Network & Internet .

Click the Wi-Fi tab.

Open Wi-Fi settings

Select the current network connection.

Open wireless properties

Under the “IP settings” section, click the Edit button.

Windows 11 edit IP address

Select the Manual option.

Static IP enable option

Turn on the IPv4 toggle switch.

Set a static IP address for Windows 11 – for example, 10.1.4.119 .

Settings app set static IP address

Specify a Subnet mask  – for example, 255.255.255.0 .

Specify a Default Gateway address.

Specify a Preferred DNS address (required).

(Optional) Specify an “Alternate DNS” address.

Use the “DNS over HTTPS” drop-down menu and select the Off option for the preferred and alternate addresses, but you can enable DoH with these options:

  • Off: Transmits all DNS traffic without encryption.
  • On (automatic template): Sends all DNS traffic with encryption.
  • On (manual template): Allows you to specify a specific template. It is only required if the DNS service doesn’t work automatically or has a template that works as expected.

Turn off the “Fallback to plaintext” toggle switch (if you enable DoH).

Click the Save button.

Once you complete the steps, the static network configuration will apply to the computer. You can test the new settings by opening the web browser and loading a website.

Set static IP address on Ethernet adapter

To assign a static IP address to an Ethernet (wired) adapter on Windows 11, use these steps:

Open Settings .

Click the Ethernet  tab.

Open Ethernet settings

After you complete the steps, you can test your settings using your web browser to open a website.

On Windows 11, you can still use Control Panel to change the IP settings for Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapters.

To assign a static IP configuration through the Control Panel, use these steps:

Open Control Panel .

Click on Network and Internet .

Click on  Network and Sharing Center .

Click the Change adapter settings option on the left navigation pane.

Open Change adapter settings

Right-click the network adapter and select the Properties option.

Select the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” option.

Click the Properties button.

Control Panel open TCP/IPv4 properties

Select the “Use the following IP address” option.

Assign the static IP address – for example, 10.1.4.119 .

Set static IPv4 address in Control Panel

Specify a Subnet mask . Typically, on a home network, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 .

Specify a Default gateway address – for example, 10.1.4.1 (Usually, your router’s address).

Under the “Use the following DNS server addresses set Preferred DNS server” section, set the “Preferred DNS server address,” which is usually your router’s IP address or server IP address providing DNS resolutions (for example, 10.1.4.1 ).

(Optional) Specify an “Alternative DNS server,” which the computer will use if it cannot reach the preferred DNS server.

Click the OK button.

Click the Close button again.

Once you complete the steps, you can open the web browser and load a website to see if the configuration works.

If you want to revert the changes, you can use these instructions to remove the static settings to configure a dynamic IP address on Windows 11.

Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Software Configuration Guide, 12.1(11)YJ4

Assigning the switch ip address and default gateway.

This chapter describes how to create the initial switch configuration (for example, assign the switch IP address and default gateway information) by using a variety of automatic and manual methods.

This chapter consists of these sections:

Understanding the Boot Process

Before you can assign switch information (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, secret and Telnet passwords, and so forth), you need to install and power on the switch as described in the hardware installation guide that shipped with your switch.

The normal boot process involves the operation of the boot loader software, which performs these activities:

The boot loader provides access to the Flash file system before the operating system is loaded. Normally, the boot loader is used only to load, uncompress, and launch the operating system. After the boot loader gives the operating system control of the CPU, the boot loader is not active until the next system reset or power-on.

The boot loader also provides trap-door access into the system if the operating system has problems serious enough that it cannot be used. The trap-door mechanism provides enough access to the system so that if it is necessary, you can format the Flash file system, reinstall the operating system software image by using the XMODEM Protocol, recover from a lost or forgotten password, and finally restart the operating system. For more information, see the "Recovering from Corrupted Software" section and the "Recovering from a Lost or Forgotten Password" section .

Before you can assign switch information, make sure you have connected a PC or terminal to the console port, and configured the PC or terminal-emulation software baud rate and character format to match those of the switch console port. For more information, refer to the hardware installation guide that shipped with your switch.

Assigning Switch Information

You can assign IP information through the switch setup program, through a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, or manually.

Use the switch setup program if you are a new user and want to be prompted for specific IP information. With this program, you can also configure a host name and an enable secret password. It gives you the option of assigning a Telnet password (to provide security during remote management) and configuring your switch as a command or member switch of a cluster or as a standalone switch. For more information about the setup program, refer to the release notes on Cisco.com.

Use a DHCP server for centralized control and automatic assignment of IP information once the server is configured.

Use the manual method of configuration if you are an experienced user familiar with the switch configuration steps; otherwise, use the setup program described earlier.

This section contains this configuration information:

Default Switch Information

Table 4-1 shows the default switch information.

Table 4-1 Default Switch Information

Understanding DHCP-Based Autoconfiguration

The DHCP provides configuration information to Internet hosts and internetworking devices. This protocol consists of two components: one for delivering configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a device and a mechanism for allocating network addresses to devices. DHCP is built on a client-server model, in which designated DHCP servers allocate network addresses and deliver configuration parameters to dynamically configured devices.

During DHCP-based autoconfiguration, your switch (DHCP client) is automatically configured at startup with IP address information and a configuration file.

With DHCP-based autoconfiguration, no DHCP client-side configuration is needed on your switch. However, you need to configure the DHCP server for various lease options associated with IP addresses. If you are using DHCP to relay the configuration file location on the network, you might also need to configure a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server and a Domain Name System (DNS) server.

The DHCP server can be on the same LAN or on a different LAN than the switch. If the DHCP server is running on a different LAN, you should configure a DHCP relay. A relay device forwards broadcast traffic between two directly connected LANs. A router does not forward broadcast packets, but it forwards packets based on the destination IP address in the received packet.

DHCP-based autoconfiguration replaces the BOOTP client functionality on your switch.

DHCP Client Request Process

When you boot your switch, the switch automatically requests configuration information from a DHCP server only if a configuration file is not present on the switch.

DHCP autoconfiguration does not occur under these conditions:

Figure 4-1 shows the sequence of messages that are exchanged between the DHCP client and the DHCP server.

Figure 4-1 DHCP Client and Server Message Exchange

how to set ip gateway

The client, Switch A, broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message to locate a DHCP server. The DHCP server offers configuration parameters (such as an IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP address, DNS IP address, a lease for the IP address, and so forth) to the client in a DHCPOFFER unicast message.

In a DHCPREQUEST broadcast message, the client returns a formal request for the offered configuration information to the DHCP server. The formal request is broadcast so that all other DHCP servers that received the DHCPDISCOVER broadcast message from the client can reclaim the IP addresses that they offered to the client.

The DHCP server confirms that the IP address has been allocated to the client by returning a DHCPACK unicast message to the client. With this message, the client and server are bound, and the client uses configuration information received from the server. The amount of information the switch receives depends on how you configure the DHCP server. For more information, see the "Configuring the DHCP Server" section .

If the configuration parameters sent to the client in the DHCPOFFER unicast message are invalid (a configuration error exists), the client returns a DHCPDECLINE broadcast message to the DHCP server.

The DHCP server sends the client a DHCPNAK denial broadcast message, which means that the offered configuration parameters have not been assigned, that an error has occurred during the negotiation of the parameters, or that the client has been slow in responding to the DHCPOFFER message (the DHCP server assigned the parameters to another client).

A DHCP client might receive offers from multiple DHCP or BOOTP servers and can accept any of the offers; however, the client usually accepts the first offer it receives. The offer from the DHCP server is not a guarantee that the IP address is allocated to the client; however, the server usually reserves the address until the client has had a chance to formally request the address. If the switch accepts replies from a BOOTP server and configures itself, the switch broadcasts, instead of unicasts, TFTP requests to obtain the switch configuration file.

Configuring the DHCP Server

You should configure the DHCP server with reserved leases that are bound to each switch by the switch hardware address.

If you want the switch to receive IP address information, you must configure the DHCP server with these lease options:

If you want the switch to receive the configuration file from a TFTP server, you must configure the DHCP server with these lease options:

Depending on the settings of the DHCP server, the switch can receive IP address information, the configuration file, or both.

If you do not configure the DHCP server with the lease options described earlier, it replies to client requests with only those parameters that are configured. If the IP address and subnet mask are not in the reply, the switch is not configured. If the router IP address or TFTP server name are not found, the switch might send broadcast, instead of unicast, TFTP requests. Unavailability of other lease options does not affect autoconfiguration.

The DHCP server can be on the same LAN or on a different LAN than the switch. If the DHCP server is running on a different LAN, you should configure a DHCP relay. For more information, see the "Configuring the Relay Device" section . If your DHCP server is a Cisco device, refer to the " IP Addressing and Services " section in the Cisco IOS IP and IP Routing Configuration Guide for Release 12.1 .

Configuring the TFTP Server

Based on the DHCP server configuration, the switch attempts to download one or more configuration files from the TFTP server. If you configured the DHCP server to respond to the switch with all the options required for IP connectivity to the TFTP server, and if you configured the DHCP server with a TFTP server name, address, and configuration filename, the switch attempts to download the specified configuration file from the specified TFTP server.

If you did not specify the configuration filename, the TFTP server, or if the configuration file could not be downloaded, the switch attempts to download a configuration file by using various combinations of filenames and TFTP server addresses. The files include the specified configuration filename (if any) and these files: network-config, cisconet.cfg, hostname .config, or hostname .cfg, where hostname is the switch's current hostname. The TFTP server addresses used include the specified TFTP server address (if any) and the broadcast address (255.255.255.255).

For the switch to successfully download a configuration file, the TFTP server must contain one or more configuration files in its base directory. The files can include these files:

If you specify the TFTP server name in the DHCP server-lease database, you must also configure the TFTP server name-to-IP-address mapping in the DNS-server database.

If the TFTP server to be used is on a different LAN from the switch, or if it is to be accessed by the switch through the broadcast address (which occurs if the DHCP server response does not contain all the required information described earlier), a relay must be configured to forward the TFTP packets to the TFTP server. For more information, see the "Configuring the Relay Device" section . The preferred solution is to configure the DHCP server with all the required information.

Configuring the DNS

The DHCP server uses the DNS server to resolve the TFTP server name to an IP address. You must configure the TFTP server name-to-IP address map on the DNS server. The TFTP server contains the configuration files for the switch.

You can configure the IP addresses of the DNS servers in the lease database of the DHCP server from where the DHCP replies will retrieve them. You can enter up to two DNS server IP addresses in the lease database.

The DNS server can be on the same or on a different LAN as the switch. If it is on a different LAN, the switch must be able to access it through a router.

Configuring the Relay Device

You must configure a relay device when a switch sends broadcast packets that need to be responded to by a host on a different LAN. Examples of broadcast packets that the switch might send are DHCP, DNS, and in some cases, TFTP packets. You must configure this relay device to forward received broadcast packets on an interface to the destination host.

If the relay device is a Cisco router, enable IP routing ( ip routing global configuration command), and configure helper addresses by using the ip helper-address interface configuration command.

For example, in Figure 4-2 , configure the router interfaces as follows:

On interface 10.0.0.2:

On interface 20.0.0.1

Figure 4-2 Relay Device Used in Autoconfiguration

how to set ip gateway

Obtaining Configuration Files

Depending on the availability of the IP address and the configuration filename in the DHCP reserved lease, the switch obtains its configuration information in these ways:

The switch receives its IP address, subnet mask, TFTP server address, and the configuration filename from the DHCP server. The switch sends a unicast message to the TFTP server to retrieve the named configuration file from the base directory of the server, and upon receipt, completes its boot-up process.

The switch receives its IP address, subnet mask, and the configuration filename from the DHCP server. The switch sends a broadcast message to a TFTP server to retrieve the named configuration file from the base directory of the server, and upon receipt, completes its boot-up process.

The switch receives its IP address, subnet mask, and the TFTP server address from the DHCP server. The switch sends a unicast message to the TFTP server to retrieve the network-confg or cisconet.cfg default configuration file. (If the network-confg file cannot be read, the switch reads the cisconet.cfg file.)

The default configuration file contains the host names-to-IP-address mapping for the switch. The switch fills its host table with the information in the file and obtains its host name. If the host name is not found in the file, the switch uses the host name in the DHCP reply. If the host name is not specified in the DHCP reply, the switch uses the default Switch as its host name.

After obtaining its host name from the default configuration file or the DHCP reply, the switch reads the configuration file that has the same name as its host name ( hostname -confg or hostname .cfg, depending on whether network-confg or cisconet.cfg was read earlier) from the TFTP server. If the cisconet.cfg file is read, the filename of the host is truncated to eight characters.

If the switch cannot read the network-confg, cisconet.cfg, or the hostname file, it reads the router-confg file. If the switch cannot read the router-confg file, it reads the ciscortr.cfg file.

Example Configuration

Figure 4-3 shows a sample network for retrieving IP information by using DHCP-based autoconfiguration.

Figure 4-3 DHCP-Based Autoconfiguration Network Example

Table 4-2 shows the configuration of the reserved leases on the DHCP server.

Table 4-2 DHCP Server Configuration

DNS Server Configuration

The DNS server maps the TFTP server name maritsu to IP address 10.0.0.3.

TFTP Server Configuration (on UNIX)

The TFTP server base directory is set to /tftpserver/work/. This directory contains the network-confg file used in the two-file read method. This file contains the host name to be assigned to the switch based on its IP address. The base directory also contains a configuration file for each switch ( switch1-confg , switch2-confg , and so forth) as shown in this display:

DHCP Client Configuration

No configuration file is present on Switch 1 through Switch 4.

Configuration Explanation

In Figure 4-3 , Switch 1 reads its configuration file as follows:

Switches 2 through 4 retrieve their configuration files and IP addresses in the same way.

Manually Assigning IP Information

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to manually assign IP information to multiple switched virtual interfaces (SVIs) or ports:

To remove the switch IP address, use the no ip address interface configuration command. If you are removing the address through a Telnet session, your connection to the switch will be lost. To remove the default gateway address, use the no ip default-gateway global configuration command.

For information on setting the switch system name, protecting access to privileged EXEC commands, and setting time and calendar services, see "Administering the Switch."

Checking and Saving the Running Configuration

You can check the configuration settings you entered or changes you made by entering this privileged EXEC command:

To store the configuration or changes you have made to your startup configuration in Flash memory, enter this privileged EXEC command:

This command saves the configuration settings that you made. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the system. To display information stored in the NVRAM section of Flash memory, use the show startup-config or more startup-config privileged EXEC command.

Change an IP address, Gateway and DNS via CMD

by Nik · Published October 11, 2009 · Updated February 20, 2015

Changing TCP/IP settings using the GUI property is fairly simple. If you have to change IP address settings using CMD to automate the process, here’s how to do it:

To change an IP address and DNS server setting using the built-in utility in Windows called “Netsh”  we’ll do the following:

Run Netsh click on start then RUN and type CMD press ENTER.

When the command prompt comes up type Netsh , now you should be ready to execute commands. For a start, type “ interface ip show config “ that will show up the TCP/IP network settings.

To change the Local Area Connection TCP/IP settings including an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway, type the following command:

interface ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” static 192.168.10.42 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

As you can see, we changed the network properties for “ Local Area Connection ”.

Changing the DNS IP address is almost identical as the procedure above, type the following command on the Netsh prompt:

interface ip set dns “Local Area Connection” static 192.168.1.1

To setup a secondary DNS type the following:

interface ip add dns “Local Area Connection” 192.168.1.2

To Setup WINS, type the following command:

interface ip set wins “Local Area Connection” static 192.168.1.1

To set the network properties to obtain the IP address from a DHCP server, type the following command:

interface ip set address “Local Area Connection” dhcp

To set DNS to obtain IP address automatically type the following:

netsh interface ip set dns “Local Area Connection” dhcp

If you want to use the batch script to automate this process you can do the following:

how-to-find-default-gateway-ip-address

Introduction

When it comes to setting up or troubleshooting network connections, the Default Gateway IP Address plays a crucial role. It serves as the entry point for your local network to connect with the internet. By understanding how to find your Default Gateway IP Address, you can gain access to your router’s configuration settings and resolve any network-related issues.

But what exactly is a Default Gateway IP Address ? And why is it important to know how to find it? In this article, we will explore the significance of the Default Gateway IP Address and provide step-by-step instructions on how to find it on various devices and operating systems.

A Default Gateway IP Address is the IP address assigned to your home router or modem. It acts as the intermediary between your devices and the internet. Whenever you send a request to access a website or any online resource, your device sends the request to the Default Gateway, which then forwards it to the appropriate destination on the internet.

Knowing how to find your Default Gateway IP Address is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it allows you to access your router’s administration interface, where you can make configuration changes such as setting up a password, managing connected devices, or troubleshooting network problems.

Secondly, when facing internet connection issues, identifying the Default Gateway IP Address can help you diagnose and fix problems. By accessing your router’s settings, you can check connectivity status, update firmware, or change the DNS settings to improve network performance.

Now that you understand the importance of finding your Default Gateway IP Address, let’s delve into the step-by-step instructions to locate it on different devices and operating systems. Whether you are using Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, or iOS, we have got you covered.

What is a Default Gateway IP Address?

A Default Gateway IP Address serves as the access point or gateway for devices on a local network to connect to the internet. It is a vital component of the networking infrastructure and plays a critical role in routing data packets between your devices and the internet.

Every device connected to a network, whether it is a computer, smartphone, or gaming console, needs an IP address to communicate with other devices and access online resources. This IP address can be either dynamically assigned by a DHCP server or manually configured. However, the Default Gateway IP Address is different from the device’s own IP address.

The Default Gateway IP Address is specifically assigned to the router or modem that connects your local network to the internet. It acts as the central hub for all network traffic, managing the flow of data packets between devices within the local network and the internet.

Think of the Default Gateway IP Address as a post office or a traffic cop. When you send a request to access a website or any online service, your device sends the request to the Default Gateway. The Default Gateway then examines the destination of the request and forwards it to the appropriate location on the internet.

Without a Default Gateway IP Address, your devices wouldn’t know how to find or connect to resources beyond your local network. It is like not having a map or directions to reach your desired destination.

The Default Gateway IP Address is typically assigned in the private IP address range, such as 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. These private IP addresses are reserved for use within a local network and are not routable on the internet.

By accessing the Default Gateway IP Address, you can also gain access to your router’s administration interface. This allows you to configure various settings, such as setting up a secure password, managing connected devices, configuring port forwarding, and troubleshooting network issues.

Now that you have a better understanding of what a Default Gateway IP Address is and its importance in establishing an internet connection, let’s proceed to the next section, where we will learn how to find the Default Gateway IP Address on Windows operating systems.

Why do you need to find your Default Gateway IP Address?

Finding your Default Gateway IP Address is essential for several reasons. Let’s explore why it is important to know this information:

1. Network Troubleshooting: When you encounter connectivity issues or face problems with your internet connection, knowing your Default Gateway IP Address can help you diagnose and resolve the problem. By accessing your router’s administration interface, you can check the network status, view connected devices, and perform troubleshooting steps to fix the issue.

2. Configure Router Settings: Your router’s administration interface allows you to configure various settings to enhance your network security and performance. By knowing your Default Gateway IP Address, you can access this interface and make changes such as setting up a secure password, enabling firewall protection, managing port forwarding, or updating the firmware to ensure optimal router performance.

3. Manage Connected Devices: Your router keeps a record of all devices connected to your network. By accessing the router’s administration interface using the Default Gateway IP Address, you can view the list of connected devices and manage them. This helps you identify any unauthorized devices and ensure that only trusted devices are connected to your network.

4. Improve Network Performance: Your Default Gateway IP Address allows you to adjust various settings that can improve the overall performance of your network.

  Windows OS Hub / PowerShell / Configure Network Settings on Windows with PowerShell: IP Address, DNS, Default Gateway, Static Routes

Configure Network Settings on Windows with PowerShell: IP Address, DNS, Default Gateway, Static Routes

Managing network adapter settings via powershell, how to get an ip address settings with powershell, set static ip address on windows using powershell, set dns server ip addresses in windows with powershell, managing routing tables with powershell, powershell: change adapter from static ip address to dhcp, change dns and ip addresses remotely on multiple computers with powershell.

Previously, the netsh interface ipv4  command was used to manage network settings from the CLI. In PowerShell 3.0 and newer, you can use the built-in NetTCPIP PowerShell module to manage network settings on Windows.

To get the list of cmdlets in this module, run the following command:

get-command -module NetTCPIP

Managing WIndows Network Settings with PowerShell NetTCPIP module

List available network interfaces on a Windows computer:

Get-NetAdapter

The cmdlet returns the interface name, its state (Up/Down), MAC address, and port speed.

In this example, I have several network adapters on my computer (besides the physical connection, Ethernet0 , I have  Hyper-V and VMWare Player network interfaces).

To display only enabled physical network interfaces:

Get-NetAdapter -Physical | ? {$_.Status -eq "Up"}

Get-NetAdapter - list connected network adapters

You can view only certain network adapter parameters, such as name, speed, status, or MAC address:

Get-NetAdapter |Select-Object name,LinkSpeed,InterfaceOperationalStatus,MacAddress

list nic mac address with powershell

Get-NetAdapter –IncludeHidden

You can refer to network interfaces by their names or indexes (the Index column). In our example, to select the physical LAN adapter Intel 82574L Gigabit Network Connection , use the command:

Get-NetAdapter -InterfaceIndex 8

powershell Get-NetAdapter select NIC by name

You can change the adapter name:

Rename-NetAdapter -Name Ethernet0 -NewName LAN

To disable a network interface, use this command:

Enable the NIC by its name:

Enable-NetAdapter -Name Ethernet0

Using PowerShell to disable a network adapter

If the network adapter has a configured VLAN number, you can view it:

Get-NetAdapter | ft Name, Status, Linkspeed, VlanID

Here is how you can find out the information about the network adapter driver that you are using:

Get-NetAdapter | ft Name, DriverName, DriverVersion, DriverInformation, DriverFileName

list network adapter used drivers

List the information about physical network adapters (PCI slot, bus, etc.):

Get-NetAdapterHardwareInfo

Disable the IPv6 protocol for the network interface:

Get-NetAdapterBinding -InterfaceAlias Ethernet0 | Set-NetAdapterBinding -Enabled:$false -ComponentID ms_tcpip6

Disable the NetBIOS protocol for a network interface:

Set-NetAdapterBinding -Name Ethernet0 -ComponentID ms_netbios -AllBindings -Enabled $True

To get current network adapter settings in Windows (IP address, DNS, default gateway):

Get-NetIPConfiguration -InterfaceAlias Ethernet0

Get-NetIPConfiguration - Retrieve the IP configuration on WIndows via PowerShell

To display more detailed information about the network interface TCP/IP configuration, use the command

Get-NetIPConfiguration -InterfaceAlias Ethernet0 -Detailed

In this case, the assigned network location (profile) (NetProfile.NetworkCategory) of the interface, MTU settings (NetIPv4Interface.NlMTU), whether obtaining an IP address from DHCP is enabled (NetIPv4Interface.DHCP), and a number of other useful information are displayed.

Get-NetIPConfiguration detailed info

To get the IPv4 interface address only:

(Get-NetAdapter -Name ethernet0 | Get-NetIPAddress).IPv4Address

Return the value of the interface’s IP address only:

Display a list of the network protocols that can be enabled or disabled for a network adapter:

Get-NetAdapterBinding -Name ethernet0 -IncludeHidden -AllBindings

Get-NetAdapterBinding view enabled network protocols

Let’s try to set a static IP address for the NIC. To change an IP address, network mask, and default gateway for an Ethernet0 network interface, use the command:

Get-NetAdapter -Name Ethernet0| New-NetIPAddress –IPAddress 192.168.2.50 -DefaultGateway 192.168.2.1 -PrefixLength 24

You can set an IP address using an array structure (more visually):

$ipParams = @{ InterfaceIndex = 8 IPAddress = "192.168.2.50" PrefixLength = 24 AddressFamily = "IPv4" } New-NetIPAddress @ipParams

If a static IP address is already configured and needs to be changed, use the Set-NetIPAddress cmdlet:

Set-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias Ethernet0 -IPAddress 192.168.2.90

To disable obtaining an IP address from DHCP for your adapter, run the command:

Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceAlias Ethernet0 -Dhcp Disabled

Remove static IP address:

Remove-NetIPAddress -IPAddress "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

To set the preferred and alternate DNS server IP addresses in Windows, use the Set-DNSClientServerAddress cmdlet. For example:

Set-DNSClientServerAddress –InterfaceIndex 8 –ServerAddresses 192.168.2.11,10.1.2.11

You can also specify DNS nameserver IPs using an array:

$dnsParams = @{ InterfaceIndex = 8 ServerAddresses = ("8.8.8.8","8.8.4.4") } Set-DnsClientServerAddress @dnsParams

After changing the DNS settings, you can flush the DNS resolver cache (equivalent to ipconfig /flushdns ):

Clear-DnsClientCache

The Get-NetRoute cmdlet is used to display the routing table.

Get the default gateway route for a physical network interface in Windows:

Get-NetAdapter -Physical | ? {$_.Status -eq "Up"}| Get-netroute| where DestinationPrefix -eq "0.0.0.0/0"

powershell: get default gateway route

To add a new route, use the New-NetRoute cmdlet:

New-NetRoute -DestinationPrefix "0.0.0.0/0" -NextHop "192.168.2.2" -InterfaceIndex 8

This command adds a permanent route to the routing table (similar to route -p add ). If you want to add a temporary route, add the -PolicyStore "ActiveStore" option. This route will be deleted after restarting Windows.

Remove a route from the routing table:

Remove-NetRoute -NextHop 192.168.0.1 -Confirm:$False

To configure your computer to obtain a dynamic IP address for the network adapter from the DHCP server , run this command:

Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceAlias Ethernet0 -Dhcp Enabled

Clear the DNS server settings:

Set-DnsClientServerAddress –InterfaceAlias Ethernet0 -ResetServerAddresses

And restart your network adapter in order to automatically obtain an IP address from the DHCP server:

Restart-NetAdapter -InterfaceAlias Ethernet0

If you previously had a default gateway configured, remove it:

Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceAlias Ethernet0| Remove-NetRoute -Confirm:$false

If you need to reset all the IPv4 settings for the computer’s network interfaces and switch them to obtain a dynamic IP address from DHCP, use the following script:

$IPType = "IPv4" $adapter = Get-NetAdapter | ? {$_.Status -eq "up"} $interface = $adapter | Get-NetIPInterface -AddressFamily $IPType If ($interface.Dhcp -eq "Disabled") { If (($interface | Get-NetIPConfiguration).Ipv4DefaultGateway) { $interface | Remove-NetRoute -Confirm:$false } $interface | Set-NetIPInterface -DHCP Enabled $interface | Set-DnsClientServerAddress -ResetServerAddresses }

You can use PowerShell to remotely change the IP address or DNS server settings on multiple remote computers.

Suppose, your task is to change the DNS settings on all Windows Server hosts in the specific AD Organizational Unit (OU) . The following script uses the Get-ADComputer cmdlet to get the list of computers from Active Directory and then connects to the remote computers through   WinRM (the Invoke-Command cmdlet is used):

$Servers = Get-ADComputer -SearchBase ‘OU=Servers,OU=Berlin,OU=DE,DC=woshub,DC=cpm’ -Filter '(OperatingSystem -like "Windows Server*")' | Sort-Object Name ForEach ($Server in $Servers) { Write-Host "Server $($Server.Name)" Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Server.Name -ScriptBlock { $NewDnsServerSearchOrder = "192.168.2.11","8.8.8.8" $Adapters = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.DHCPEnabled -ne 'True' -and $_.DNSServerSearchOrder -ne $null} Write-Host "Old DNS settings: " $Adapters | ForEach-Object {$_.DNSServerSearchOrder} $Adapters | ForEach-Object {$_.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($NewDnsServerSearchOrder)} | Out-Null $Adapters = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.DHCPEnabled -ne 'True' -and $_.DNSServerSearchOrder -ne $null} Write-Host "New DNS settings: " $Adapters | ForEach-Object {$_.DNSServerSearchOrder} } }

Lovely like always! many thanks

' src=

Thanks for the great info. Would you happen to know a way to get the IP from the PC and then set the internet proxy using the 2nd octet from the IP address? So I have multiple schools and each has a proxy server, so I want to be able to set the proxy based on where that PC is. Location 1 gives PC IP address of 100.55.50.100, Proxy at this location is 100.55.100.1:9090 Location 2 gives PC IP address of 100.60.50.26, Proxy at this location is 100.60.100.1:9090 The second octet is what changes between locations for both proxy address and IP schema. I am trying to do a script at login for the user, so that if the device moves locations, it will not need to have the proxy manually re-entered to get back on the internet.

' src=

I think it will be easier for you to configure the Web Proxy Automatic Detection (WPAD) protocol or Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file to automatically configure proxy setting on client computers.

' src=

Double thumbs up, well done.

' src=

Any Idea how to modify the Connection specific DNS suffix for a network adapter via powershell if possible?

' src=

Wow, amazing work! Was wondering if you know a way to set a static ip for a network adapter without it disconnecting UDP/TCP connections?

' src=

Hi, Could you or anyone help to create two scripts that:

script #1. Reads and records all IP settings for a NIC (IP-, subnet mask-, gateway-, and DNS addresses)

script #2. Changes the IP settings to the settings recorded by script 1

Script 1. Saves all network adapters settings to a json file: $adapterSettings = @() foreach ($adapter in $adapters) { $settings = Get-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex $adapter.InterfaceIndex $dns = Get-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $adapter.InterfaceIndex $adapterInfo = [PSCustomObject]@{ AdapterName = $adapter.Name IPAddress = $settings.IPAddress SubnetMask = $settings.PrefixLength Gateway = $settings.NextHop DNS = $dns.ServerAddresses } $adapterSettings += $adapterInfo } $adapterSettings | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File -FilePath "C:\PS\NIC_Settings.json"

Script 2: Apply network settings from file to NICs:

$adapterSettings = Get-Content -Raw -Path "C:\PS\NIC_Settings.json"| ConvertFrom-Json foreach ($adapterInfo in $adapterSettings) { Set-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias $adapterInfo.AdapterName -IPAddress $adapterInfo.IPAddress -PrefixLength $adapterInfo.SubnetMask Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceAlias $adapterInfo.AdapterName -InterfaceMetric $null Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias $adapterInfo.AdapterName -ServerAddresses $adapterInfo.DNS Set-NetRoute -InterfaceAlias $adapterInfo.AdapterName -NextHop $adapterInfo.Gateway } Restart-NetAdapter -Confirm:$false
