In this article I am going to explain about Ipconfig Command in Windows Server 2008 operating system and also explain it's related syntax.
Introduction
Ipconfig is command line tool used to control the network connections. The Ipconfig command displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values which includes IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DHCP Server IP, Mac Address, DNS and other details regarding a computer and the network. Ipconfig command also refreshes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings.
