New-NetIPAddress

New-NetIPAddress

Parameter Set: ByInterfaceAlias

Parameter Set: ByInterfaceIndex
New-NetIPAddress [-IPAddress] <String> -InterfaceIndex <UInt32> [-AddressFamily <AddressFamily> ] [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-DefaultGateway <String> ] [-PolicyStore <String> ] [-PreferredLifetime <TimeSpan> ] [-PrefixLength <Byte> ] [-SkipAsSource <Boolean> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Type <Type> ] [-ValidLifetime <TimeSpan> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The New-NetIPAddress cmdlet creates IP address and the configuration properties of that IP address. To create a specific IP address object, the required parameters include an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) and an interface (InterfaceIndex or InterfaceAlias). It is also recommended to define the prefix length, also known as a subnet mask, and default gateway.

If DHCP is enabled on the interface to which this cmdlet is configured to, then DHCP will automatically be disabled.

Note: The DefaultGateway parameter sets a route to make the new IP address reachable. The Remove-NetIPAddress cmdlet will also remove this route provided the DefaultGateway parameter.

Parameters

-AddressFamily<AddressFamily>

Specifies an IP address family. This property is automatically generated if unspecified. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
-- IPv4: IPv4 Address information.
-- IPv6: IPv6 address information.

-SkipAsSource<Boolean>

Specifies the SkipAsSource flag. SkipAsSource is used in a multiple IP address scenario in which the only the primary IP address for outgoing traffic. The IP addresses that have SkipAsSource set to True are not used for outgoing traffic and are not registered in DNS.

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

  • None

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

  • Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\StandardCimv2\MSFT_NetIPAddress

    The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This command adds a new IPv4 address to the network interface at index 12. The subnet mask is determined by the PrefixLength parameter. In this example, the PrefixLength of 24 is equivalent to a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. When you add an IPv4 address, the address specified for the Default Gateway must be in the same subnet as the IPv4 address you add.

PS C:\> New-NetIPAddress –InterfaceIndex 12 –IPAddress 192.168.0.1 -PrefixLength 24 -DefaultGateway 192.168.0.5

This command removes the IPv4 address. To remove the IPv4 address, use the Remove-NetIPAddress cmdlet.

PS C:\> Remove-NetIPAddress –IPAddress 192.168.0.1 -DefaultGateway 192.168.0.5
