Administering Windows Firewall with Netsh

Windows Firewall provides a firewall context, which you can use to configure Windows Firewall settings. To run Windows Firewall netsh commands, you must start netsh from the command prompt and then change to the firewall context by typing firewall. You can also run netsh firewall commands all on one line at the command prompt.

You cannot use the netsh firewall commands to remotely configure Windows Firewall settings, and you cannot use the dump command to create a script based on the current Windows Firewall configuration.

The following netsh firewall commands can be used in scripts or at the command line to configure Windows Firewall.
