Description

The Get-NetIPInterface cmdlet gets an IP interface, including IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and the associated address configuration for the IP interfaces. Without parameters, this cmdlet gets all of the IP interface properties on the computer, including virtual interfaces and loopback interfaces.

Examples

Example 1: Get IP interface configuration

PS C:\>Get-NetIPInterface

This command gets the IP interface configuration on the computer on which you run the cmdlet.

Example 2: Get IP interface information for IPv6 addresses

PS C:\>Get-NetIPInterface -AddressFamily IPv6

This command gets information about the IP interface configuration for all IP interfaces for which you have configured IPv6 addresses.

Example 3: Get IP interface information and format the output

PS C:\>Get-NetIPInterface | Format-Table

This command gets information about IP interface configuration, and displays that information in a table.

Example 4: Get IP interface information by interface index

PS C:\>Get-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex 12

This command gets information about the IP interface configuration for a specific interface index.

Example 5: Get and sort IP interface information

PS C:\>Get-NetIPInterface | Sort-Object -Property InterfaceIndex | Format-Table

This command gets information about IP address configuration, sorts them numerically by the interface index in the cmdlet name, and then displays them in a table format.

Example 6: Get the IP interface by specifying the router lifetime

PS C:\>Get-NetIPInterface | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.AdvertisedRouterLifetime.TotalSeconds -Eq 1800 }

This command gets information about IP address configuration for all IP interfaces that have a default AdvertisedRouterLifetime.
