xipconfig

xipconfig - ipconfig reloaded
xipconfig is a windows equivalent to ifconfig. It's syntax is close but not limited to ifconfig's.
The class InterfaceManager is the core of the tool.

It combines the following 3 WMI classes:

Win32_NetworkAdapter Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration MSFT_NetAdapter

Using these 3 classes its basically possible to get (and set) almost any information that is available when it comes to adapters and networking in Windows.

xipconfig uses the linux like naming for interfaces.

eth      Ethernet adapters
wlan     Wireless 802.11 adapters
virt     Virtual adapters like Hyper-V or VMWare
tun      Tunnel adapters like Microsoft ISATAP or Teredo
unkn     Unknown or not yet correctly detected adapters

All interfaces are numbered like they are on linux, for example ethernet adapters would be: eth0, eth1, eth2, and so on...

Usage:

USAGE:
        xipconfig [interface] [all] |
        xipconfig interface [up/down/DHCP]  [-i][ipaddress] [-s][subnet] [-g][gateway] [-d][dns]
                         List active network interfaces
        interface        List this network interface only
        -all             List all network interfaces
        up/down          Enable or Disable interface
        DHCP             Set the interface to use DHCP
        -i               Set IP Address of interface
        -s               Set Subnet Mask of interface
        -g               Set Gateway of interface
        -d               Set DNS Server(s) of interface
        -v               Show Version

As xipconfig uses simpleparser for command line arguments processing you can use these 3 types of syntaxes:

"Words" Syntax:
xipconfig eth0 ipaddress 192.168.0.5 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 dns 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2
"Dash" Syntax:
xipconfig eth0 -i 192.168.0.5 -s 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.0.1 -d 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2
"Lazy" Syntax:
xipconfig eth0 i 192.168.0.5 s 255.255.255.0 g 192.168.0.1 d 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2

If your Subnet Mask is /24 you can leave it out as thats the default anyway.

You can even mix these 3 syntaxes if you like to.

If you would like to set eth0 to use DHCP you would do this: xipconfig eth0 DHCP
To enable or disable an adapter use the up and down keywords like in ifconfig: xipconfig eth0 down

Planned Features:

---

• xipconfigd - xipconfig Daemon running in the background as an elevated process for UAC enabled systems.
• edit manifest to require elevated process and remove "are you root" messages.
• Fix initial release bugs #1 - #3 :)
