PowerShell is a powerful tool for managing network configurations on Windows systems. Below are essential commands and steps to leverage PowerShell for networking tasks.
You Should Know:
1. Check Network Adapter Information
Get details about network interfaces:
Get-NetAdapter
Filter by name or status:
Get-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet" | Where-Object { $_.Status -eq "Up" }
2. Enable/Disable Network Adapters
Disable an adapter:
Disable-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet" -Confirm:$false
Enable an adapter:
Enable-NetAdapter -Name "Wi-Fi" -Confirm:$false
3. Configure IP Addresses
Set a static IP:
New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" -IPAddress "192.168.1.100" -PrefixLength 24 -DefaultGateway "192.168.1.1"
Set DNS server:
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" -ServerAddresses ("8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4")
4. Test Network Connectivity
Ping a host:
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName "google.com"
Traceroute:
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName "example.com" -TraceRoute
5. Manage Firewall Rules
