SUMMARYNetsh.exe is a tool an administrator can use to configure and monitor Windows 2000-based computers at a command prompt. With the Netsh.exe tool, you can direct the context commands you enter to the appropriate helper, and the helper then carries out the command. A helper is a Dynamic Link Library (.dll) file that extends the functionality of the Netsh.exe tool by providing configuration, monitoring, and support for one or more services, utilities, or protocols. The helper may also be used to extend other helpers. MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Netsh.exe tool to perform the following tasks:
netsh [-r router name] [-a AliasFile] [-c Context] [Command | -f ScriptFile]To display a list of subcontexts and commands that can be used in a context, type the context name followed by a space and a ? at the netsh> command prompt. For example, to display a list of subcontext and commands that can be used in the /routing context, type routing ? at the netsh> command prompt, and then press ENTER. ContextsContext strings are appended to the Netsh.exe tool command and are passed to an associated helper. The helper may have one or more entry points that map to contexts. Some of the contexts available in the Netsh.exe tool are:Context Command: /dhcp Result: Changes to the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) context. Context Command: /ras Result: Changes to the Remote Access Server (RAS) context. Context Command: /routing Result: Changes to the routing context. Context Command: /wins Result: Changes to the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) context. Contexts may also nest within other contexts. For example, the following contexts operate within the netsh>ras context: Context Command: /appletalk Result: Changes to the appletalk context. Context Command: /ip Result: Changes to the Internet Protocol (IP) context. Context Command: /ipx Result: Changes to the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) context. Context Command: /netbeui Result: Changes to the NetBios Enhanced User Interface (NETBEUI) context. The following subcontexts operate within the netsh>routing ip context: Context Command: /autodhcp Result: Changes to the autodhcp subcontext. Context Command: /dnsproxy Result: Changes to the dnsproxy subcontext. Context Command: /igmp Result: Changes to the Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) subcontext. Context Command: /mib Result: Changes to the Management Information Base (MIB) subcontext. Context Command: /nat Result: Changes to the Network Address Translation (NAT) subcontext. Context Command: /ospf Result: Changes to the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) subcontext. Context Command: /relay Result: Changes to the relay subcontext. Context Command: /rip Result: Changes to the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) subcontext.

Alternative entries are shown with a pipe (|) character between them. Context Command: /? Result: Displays help. Context Command: /abort Result: Discards any changes made in offline mode. No effect in online mode. Context Command: /add helper DLL-name Result: Installs the helper .dll file in netsh.exe. Context Command: /alias [alias-name] [string1] [string2 ...] Result: If /alias, lists all aliases. If /alias alias-name, displays the equivalent string. If /alias alias-name string1 string2 ..., sets alias-name to the specified strings. Context Command: /bye Result: Exits the program. Context Command: /commit Result: Commits any changes made in the offline mode to the router. No effect in the online mode. Context Command: /delete helper .dll file name Result: Removes the helper .dll file from Netsh.exe. Context Command: /dump -file name Result: Dumps or appends configuration to a text file. Context Command: /exec script file name Result: Loads the script file and executes commands from it. Context Command: /exit Result: Exits the program. Context Command: /h Result: Displays help. Context Command: /help Result: Displays help. Context Command: /offline Result: Sets the current mode to offline. Any changes made in this mode are saved, but require a "commit" or "online" command to be set in the router. Context Command: /online Result: Sets the current mode to online. Any changes in this mode are immediately reflected in the router. Context Command: /popd Result: Pops a context from the stack. Context Command: /pushd Result: Pushes current context onto the stack. Context Command: /quit Result: Exits the program. Context Command: /set mode [mode =] online | offline Result: Sets the current mode to online or offline. Context Command: /show alias | helper | mode Result: If /show alias, lists all defined aliases. If /show helper, lists all top-level helpers. If /show mode, shows the current mode. Context Command: /unalias alias name Result: Deletes the specified alias.
