Netsh commands for routing IP routerdiscovery

The following entries provide details for each command.

dump

Displays the router discovery configuration of a remote access server in script form.

Syntax

dump

Remarks

  • You can dump the contents of the current configuration to a file that can be used to restore altered configuration settings.

Example

The following is the command to save the current configuration as a script in the routingipdiscovery.dmp file.

dump > routingipdiscovery.dmp

add interface

Configures router discovery for the specified interface.

Syntax

add interface

[name=] InterfaceName

[[disc=] {enable | disable}]

[[minint=] Integer]

[[maxint=] Integer]

[[life=] Integer]

[[level=] Integer]

Parameters

[name=] InterfaceName


Required. Specifies, by name, the interface for which you want to configure router discovery. The InterfaceName parameter must match the name of the interface as specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text (for example, "Interface Name").
[[disc=] {enable | disable}]


Specifies whether router discovery should occur on this interface. The enable parameter specifies that router discovery should occur, and the disable parameter specifies that router discovery should not occur.
[[minint=] Integer]


Specifies a minimum interval, in minutes, between when router discovery packets are sent.
[[maxint=] Integer]


Specifies a maximum interval, in minutes, between when router discovery packets are sent.
[[life=] Integer]


Specifies the number of minutes for which a router discovery packet sent from this router or server is valid.
[[level=] Integer]


Specifies a number indicating preference for using this interface as the default gateway. Where multiple interfaces are enabled for router discovery, a higher number used here indicates a higher level of preference.

Remarks

  • When added, router discovery advertisements are sent at random times bounded by the set minimum and maximum intervals.

Example

To enable router discovery for the Local Area Connection interface, specifying a minimum interval of 7 minutes, a maximum interval of 10 minutes, a life of 30 minutes for router discovery packets, and a zero (0) or no preference level, type:

add interface "Local Area Connection" enable 7 10 30 0

set interface

Configures router discovery for the specified interface.

Syntax

set interface

[name=] InterfaceName

[[disc=] {enable | disable}]

[[minint=] Integer]

[[maxint=] Integer]

[[life=] Integer]

[[level=] Integer]

Parameters

[name=] InterfaceName


Required. Specifies, by name, the interface for which you want to configure router discovery. The InterfaceName parameter must match the name of the interface as specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text (for example, "Interface Name").
[[disc=] {enable | disable}]


Specifies whether router discovery should occur on this interface. The enable parameter specifies that router discovery should occur, and the disable parameter specifies that router discovery should not occur.
[[minint=] Integer]


Specifies, in minutes, a minimum interval between when router discovery packets are sent.
[[maxint=] Integer]


Specifies, in minutes, a maximum interval between when router discovery packets are sent.
[[life=] Integer]


Specifies, in minutes, how long a router discovery packet sent from this router or server is valid.
[[level=] Integer]


Specifies a number indicating preference for using this interface as the default gateway. A higher number used here specifies a higher level of preference.

Example

To enable router discovery for the Local Area Connection interface, specifying a minimum interval of 7 minutes, a maximum interval of 10 minutes, a life of 30 minutes for router discovery packets, and a zero (0) or no preference level, type:

set interface name="Local Area Connection" enable 7 10 30 0

delete interface

Deletes router discovery configuration for the specified interface.

Syntax

delete interface

[name=] InterfaceName

Parameters

[name=] InterfaceName


Required. Specifies, by name, the interface for which you want to delete router-discovery configuration. The InterfaceName parameter must match the name of the interface as specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text (for example, "Interface Name").

Example

To delete the router-discovery configuration for an interface named Local Area Connection, type:

delete interface name="Local Area Connection"

show interface

Displays the router discovery configuration. Used without parameters, show interface displays information for all interfaces.

Syntax

show interface

[[name=] InterfaceName]

Parameters

[[name=] InterfaceName]


Specifies, by name, the interface for which you want to display information. The InterfaceName parameter must match the name of the interface as specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text (for example, "Interface Name").

Example

To display router discovery information for an interface named Local Area Connection, type:

show interface name="Local Area Connection"

uninstall

Removes the routing protocol corresponding to the current context.

Syntax

uninstall
