Description

The Set-NetIPAddress cmdlet modifies IP address configuration properties of an existing IP address.

To create an IPv4 address or IPv6 address, use the New-NetIPAddress cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Modify an IP address

PS C:\> New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex 12 -IPAddress 192.168.0.1
PS C:\> Set-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex 12 -IPAddress 192.168.0.1 -PrefixLength 24

This command adds the IP address 192.168.0.1 to the interface located at index 12.

The PrefixLength parameter may also be specified as part of the Set-NetIPAddress cmdlet.

Example 2: Modify an IP address and set the valid lifetime

PS C:\> $Timesp = ( New-TimeSpan -Days 1 )
PS C:\> Set-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex 12 -IPAddress 192.168.0.1 -PreferredLifetime $Timesp

The first command creates a new TimeSpan object of one day, and stores it in the variable named $Timesp.

The second command then uses the TimeSpan object to set the preferred lifetime of the IP address located at interface 12 to one day.

Parameters

-AddressFamily

Specifies an array of IP address families. The cmdlet modifies the IP address configuration that matches the families. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- IPv4 -- IPv6

-AddressState

Specifies an array of duplicate address detection (DAD) state values for the IP address. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• Invalid. IP address configuration information for addresses that are not valid and will not be used.
• Tentative. IP address configuration information for addresses that are not used for communication, as the uniqueness of those IP addresses is being verified.
• Duplicate. IP address configuration information for addresses for which a duplicate IP address has been detected and the current IP address will not be used.
• Deprecated. IP address configuration information for addresses that will no longer be used to establish new connections, but will continue to be used with existing connections.
• Preferred. IP address configuration information for addresses that are valid and available for use.

Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:	CimSession[]
Aliases:	Session

Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-IncludeAllCompartments

Indicates that the cmdlet includes addresses from all configured network compartments. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet modifies only addresses in the default network compartment.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-InputObject

Specifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.

Type:	CimInstance[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-InterfaceAlias

Specifies an array of aliases of network interfaces. The cmdlet modifies IP addresses that match the aliases.

Type:	String[]
Aliases:	ifAlias
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-InterfaceIndex

Specifies an array of indexes of network interfaces. The cmdlet modifies IP addresses that match the indexes.

Type:	UInt32[]
Aliases:	ifIndex
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-IPAddress

Specifies an array of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.

Type:	String[]
Aliases:	LocalAddress
Position:	0
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-PolicyStore

Specifies a PolicyStore value. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- ActiveStore. The IP address information is valid. -- PersistentStore. The computer saves IP address information across restarts. When the computer restarts, it copies the saved settings to the ActiveStore.

The default value is ActiveStore. Specify ActiveStore only.

If you do not specify this parameter, the default entries are created in both the ActiveStore and the PersistentStore.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-PreferredLifetime

Specifies a preferred lifetime, as a TimeSpan object, for an IP address. To obtain a TimeSpan object, use the New-TimeSpan cmdlet.

Type:	TimeSpan
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-PrefixLength

Specifies a prefix length. This parameter defines the local subnet size, and is also known as a subnet mask.

Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-SuffixOrigin

Specifies an array of origins for address suffixes. IP addresses are divided into two parts, the prefix and the suffix. The address prefix identifies the network portion of an IP address, and the address suffix identifies the host portion. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- Manual. The IP address suffix was manually specified. -- WellKnown. The IP address suffix is from a well-known source. -- DHCP. The IP address suffix was provided by DHCP settings. -- Link. The IP address suffix was obtained from the link-layer address. -- Random. The IP address suffix was obtained from a random source.

The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:	Int32
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
