Ipconfig Command In windows Server 2008
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.
Syntax
ipconfig [/allcompartments] [/all] [/renew [<Adapter>]] [/release [<Adapter>]] [/renew6[<Adapter>]] [/release6 [<Adapter>]]
[/flushdns] [/displaydns] [/registerdns] [/showclassid <Adapter>] [/setclassid <Adapter> [<ClassID>]]

| /renew [<Adapter>] |
Renews the DHCP configuration for all the adapters (if no
adapter has been specified) and also for a specific adapter if an
Adapter parameter has been included. |
| /release [<Adapter>] |
This sends a DHCP release message to a DHCP server to disregard
the DHCP-configured settings for either all adapters or for a
specific adapter. If there is no adapter is specified, the IP
address configuration is released for all the adapters |

If an adapter is not specified, this renews DHCPv6 configuration
for all adapters. If adapter parameter is specified then DHCPv6
configuration will renew for specified adapter. |
| /release6 [<Adapter>] |
This sends a DHCP release message to a DHCPv6 server to
disregard the DHCP-configured settings for either all adapters or
for a specific adapter. If there is no adapter is specified, the IP
address configuration is released for all the adapters |

Resets and also flushes all the
contents of the DNS client resolver cache. |
| /displaydns |
Displays the contents of the DNS client resolver
cache. |

Specifies the manual dynamic registration for DNS names and the
IP addresses that are configured at a computer. This can be
especially useful when troubleshooting DNS name registrations or
resolve a dynamic update problem between a client and the DNS server
without rebooting the client computer. |
| /showclassid <Adapter> |
