Change IP Address and DNS from static to DHCP and vice versa in Windows Command Line Dynamically using Batch file script

Hi friends,

I was frequently changing my system network from static to dynamic.

I was fed-up with the manual changes by entering the static IP address and changing it to dynamic.

I though of creating a batch file, which requests user to select options and proceed further.

 

I found something on Internet, just modified it for my purpose and thought of sharing with you all.

 

• Check your network name
• cmd> netsh interface show interface
• It will list all the network interfaces connected to your system
• Select the network which you want to change the settings
• Modify the below code with appropriate network name, IP address, subnet, gateway and DNS server

@echo off

set NETWORK="Local Area Connection"
set IP=10.9.40.95
set SUBNET=255.255.255.0
set GATEWAY=10.9.40.47
set DNSSERVER=192.168.178.1

echo Choose:
echo [S] Set Static IP
echo [D] Set DHCP
echo.

:choice
SET /P C=[S,D]?
for %%? in (S) do if /I "%C%"=="%%?" goto S
for %%? in (D) do if /I "%C%"=="%%?" goto D
goto choice

:S
@echo off
echo "Setting Static IP Address, Subnet Mask and DNS Server"
netsh interface ip set address %NETWORK% static %IP% %SUBNET% %GATEWAY% 1
netsh interface ip set dnsservers %NETWORK% static %DNSSERVER% primary
netsh interface ip show config
pause
goto end

:D
@echo off
echo "Resetting IP Address, Subnet Mask and DNS server For DHCP"
netsh interface ip set address name=%NETWORK% dhcp
netsh interface ip set dns %NETWORK% dhcp
ipconfig /renew

echo "New IP Address, Subnet Mast and DNS Server for %computername%:"
netsh interface ip show config
pause
goto end

:end

Now enjoy the feature of changing IP address with 3 clicks
