WINDOWS IP CONFIG

Configure IP (internet protocol configuration)

Syntax

IPCONFIG /all = Display full configuration information.
IPCONFIG /release [adapter] = Rlease the IP address for the specified adapter.
IPCONFIG /renew [adapter] = Renew the IP address for the specified adapter.
IPCONFIG /flushdns = Purge the DNS Resolver cache.
IPCONFIG /registerdns = Refresh all DHCP leases and re-register DNS names.
IPCONFIG /displaydns = Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache.
IPCONFIG /showclassid adapter = Display all the DHCP class IDs allowed for adapter.
IPCONFIG /setclassid adapter [classid] = Modify the dhcp class id.

If the Adapter name contains spaces, use quotes: "Adapter Name"
wildcard characters * and ? allowed, see the examples below

The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP.

For Release and Renew, if no adapter name is specified, then the IP address leases for all adapters bound to TCP/IP will be released or renewed.

For Setclassid, if no ClassId is specified, then the ClassId is removed.

Examples:
> ipconfig ... Show information.
> ipconfig /all ... Show detailed information
> ipconfig /renew ... renew all adapters
> ipconfig /renew EL* ... renew any connection that has its
name starting with EL

> ipconfig /release *Con* ... release all matching connections,
eg. "Local Area Connection 1" or
"Local Area Connection 2"

> ipconfig /setclassid "Local Area Connection" TEST
... set the DHCP class ID for the
named adapter to = TEST
