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 commands save the current configuration as a script in the c:\test\routerdiscoverycfg.dmp file.
- From the command prompt:
netsh routing ip routerdiscovery dump > c:\test\routerdiscoverycfg.dmp
- From the netsh routing ip routerdiscovery
context prompt:
set file open c:\test\routerdiscoverycfg.dmp
dump
set file close
You can use the netsh exec command to run the script created by the netsh dump command.
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.
- [ 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 enabled, 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.
- [ 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 router discovery protocol from IPv4.
Syntax
uninstall
