IP configuration
This sample illustrates how to programmatically change an IP address for a
specific network adapter on your machine. This program also demonstrates how
to retrieve existing network adapter IP configuration information.
IP configurations can be changed for a specific network adapter by using the
AddIpAddress() and DeleteIpAddress() Ip Helper API functions. These functions
require you to understand adapter index numbers and IP context numbers. In Windows,
every network adapter has a unique index ID and every IP address has a unique
context ID. Adapter index IDs and IP context numbers can be retrieved using
the GetAdaptersInfo() IP Helper function. This program features a list option
that displays current network adapter configuration information by showing all
adapters index numbers and IP address context numbers associated with their
corresponding network adaptors. To execute this application, simply build the
application using the Visual C++ (Version 5 SP 3 or better) Nmake.exe program
generation facility. An ipchange.exe program should result. Execute the ipchange.exe
with the following parameters:
Ipchange.exe [ -l ] [ -a -n
- -l List adapter index IDs and IP Address context ID information
- -a Add IP Address option
- -d Delete IP Address option
- -i IP Address to specify with -a option
- -m Subnet Mask to specify with -a option
- -c IP context ID for an existing IP address -n Index ID of an existing network
adapter

Abstract:
This module illustrates how to programmatically change an IP address for
a specific network adapter on your machine. This program also demonstrates how
to retrieve existing network adapter IP configuration information.
IP configurations can be changed for a specific network adapter by using the
AddIpAddress() and DeleteIpAddress() Ip Helper APIs. These APIs require you to
understand adapter index numbers and IP context numbers. In Windows, every network
adapter has a unique index ID and every IP address has a unique context ID.
Adapter index IDs and IP context numbers can be retrieved using the GetAdaptersInfo()
IP Helper API. This program features a list option that displays current network
adapter configuration information by showing all adapters index numbers and IP
address context numbers associated with their corresponding network adaptors.
To execute this application, simply build the application using the Visual C++
Nmake.exe program generation facility. A ipchange.exe program should result.
Execute the ipchange.exe with the following parameters:
Ipchange.exe [ -l ] [ -a -n -i -m ]
[ -d -c]
-l List adapter index IDs and IP Address context ID information
-a Add IP Address option
-d Delete IP Address option
-i IP Address to specify with -a option
-m Subnet Mask to specify with -a option
-c IP context ID for an existing IP address
-n Index ID of an existing network adapter
