Managing IP Addresses

IP Helper can assist you in managing IP addresses that are associated with interfaces on the local computer. Use the functions described following for IP address management.

The GetIpAddrTable function retrieves a table that contains the mapping of IP addresses to interfaces. More than one IP address may to associated with the same interface.

Use the AddIPAddress function to add an IP address to a particular interface. To remove IP addresses that were previously added using AddIPAddress, use the DeleteIPAddress function.

The IpReleaseAddress and IpRenewAddress functions require the local computer to be using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The IpReleaseAddress function releases an IP address that was previously obtained from DHCP. The IpRenewAddress function renews a DHCP lease on a particular IP address.
