Description

The Get-NetIPAddress cmdlet gets the IP address configuration, such as IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses and the IP interfaces with which addresses are associated. Without parameters, this cmdlet gets the entire IP address configuration for the computer.

Examples

Example 1: Get IPv6 address configuration

PS C:\>Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv6

This command gets information about IP address configuration for all IPv6 addresses on the computer.

Example 2: Get IP address information and format the output

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

This command gets information about IP address configuration, and displays that information in a table. The table format provides a convenient overview for computers with many IP addresses.

Example 3: Get IP address information by the interface index

PS C:\>Get-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex 12

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

Example 4: Get IP address information and sort the output

PS C:\>Get-NetIPAddress | 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. This display can help you find IP address information by interface index.

Example 5: Get IP address information and filter the output

PS C:\>Get-NetIPAddress | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.ValidLifetime -Lt ([TimeSpan]::FromDays(1)) }


Similarly, this cmdlet can be used to get information about IP address configuration for IP addresses that have an Infinite ValidLifetime.
PS C:\>Get-NetIPAddress | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.ValidLifetime -Eq ([TimeSpan]::MaxValue) }

This command gets IP address configuration for IP addresses that have a ValidLifetime of less than one day.

Parameters

-AddressFamily

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

-- IPv4 -- IPv6

Type:AddressFamily[]
Accepted values:IPv4, IPv6
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-AddressState

Specifies an array of duplicate address detection (DAD) state values for the IP address. Use this parameter to filter the output based on addresses that are valid and available for use. 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.

Type:AddressState[]
Accepted values:Invalid, Tentative, Duplicate, Deprecated, Preferred
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

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

-AssociatedIPInterface

Specifies an IP interface as a CIM object. To obtain an IP interface, use the Get-NetIPInterface cmdlet.

Type:CimInstance
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
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
Position:Named
Default value:None
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 gets only addresses in the default network compartment.

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

-InterfaceAlias

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

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

-InterfaceIndex

Specifies an array of indexes of network interfaces. The cmdlet gets 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

-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.

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

-PreferredLifetime

Specifies an array of values of preferred lifetimes, as TimeSpan objects, 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 an array of prefix lengths. This parameter defines the local subnet size, and is also known as a subnet mask.

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

-PrefixOrigin

Specifies an array of origins for address prefixes. 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:
