Set up Windows network with PowerShell
Display the network cards in the system
The following command displays a list of interfaces with names, prefixes, and so on:
Get-NetAdapter
Show the current settings of all network cards
The following command is the same as the Ipconfig command in the CMD environment, and all network card information will be displayed:
Get-NetIPConfiguration
If you need to get the physical interface information, enter the following command:
Get-NetAdapterHardwareInfo
In the following, we will configure the network by PowerShell.
Set IP with PowerShell command
The IP address setup command in PowerShell has many parameters.
The following example uses one of the most complete structures to learn more about the parameters of this command:
New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" -IPAddress 192.168.1.10 -PrefixLength 24 -DefaultGateway 192.168.1.1 -AddressFamily IPv4
In the above command, the desired IP is set on the Ethernet interface. To get more familiar with this command, we will explain its parameters.
InterfaceAlias: The interface name is specified with this parameter.
IPAddress: The desired IP address is entered in this field.
PrefixLength: By entering this parameter, the network subnet is entered.
DefaultGateway: The Default Gateway address of the network is entered in this field.
AddressFamily: The type of IP address that is in both IPv4 and IPv6 modes will be specified in this section.
This way you can enter the information you want to register for the IP.
Set up DNS for network interface with PowerShell
In the following command, the DNS address of the servers is entered. As you can see, Primary DNS and Alternate DNS are entered in a command and separated by a comma.
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "ethernet" -ServerAddresses 8.8.8.8,4.2.2.4
Enable and disable of network DHCP with PowerShell
Enable DHCP:
Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceAlias "ethernet" -Dhcp Disable
Disable DHCP:
Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceAlias "ethernet" -Dhcp Enable
So you can enable or disable DHCP for an interface.
Enable or disable the network interface with PowerShell
Disable network card:
Disable-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet"
Enable network card:
Enable-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet"
Note that after entering any of the above commands, you will be asked for confirmation to execute the command.
