How to change IP Address using Set-NetIPAddress

Hi,

 

Wondering how to use cmdlet Set-NetIPAddress to change the current config.

 

I Don't want to ADD new IP to the interface using New-NetIPAddress cmdlet.

 

May somebody could help me?

 

Thanks.

    You'll probably need to use Two Cmdlets to modify the Current Configuration.

     

    The first is Get-NetAdapter.

    This will display all Physical Adapters

     

    Get-NetAdapter -physical

     

    This will display all Physical Adapters which are "live" (Lan Connected)

     

    Get-NetAdapter -physical | Where-Object { $_.Status -ne 'Disconnected' }

     

    The trick is figuring out if you have a pile of cards connected, you'd have to filter on either the TEAM Description or the LAN Adapter Description. 

     

    Each Network card has a property called the "InterfaceIndex".  Once you know which card you're trying to re-configure it's a matter of using the InterfaceIndex Property with the Set-NetIPAddress Cmdlet to update the value of the Network Card.

     

    Example -  Changing to a StaticIP address of 10.0.0.5 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits) on Interface Index 6

     

    Set-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex 6 -IPAddress 10.0.0.5 -PrefixLength 24
