Netsh RAS IP Context Commands

dump

• You can dump the contents of the current configuration to a file that can be used to restore altered configuration settings.
  
  

The following commands save the current configuration as a script in the c:\test\rasipcfg.dmp file.

• From the command prompt:
  
  netsh ras ip dump > c:\test\rasipcfg.dmp
  
  
• From the netsh ras ip context prompt:
  
  set file open c:\test\rasipcfg.dmp
  
  dump
  
  set file close
  
  

You can use the netsh exec command to run the script created by the netsh dump command.

show config

set negotiation

[ mode = ] { allow | deny }

[ mode = ] { allow | deny }

Required. Specifies whether to permit the use of the IPv4 protocol over client connections. The allow parameter allows IPv4 over client connections. The deny parameter prevents IPv4 over client connections.

set access

[ mode = ] { all | serveronly }

[ mode = ] { all | serveronly }

Required. Specifies whether clients are able to reach the remote access server and any networks to which it is connected. The all parameter allows clients to reach networks through the server. The serveronly parameter allows clients to reach only the server and any shared folders that it makes available.

set addrassign

[ method = ] { auto | pool }

[ method = ] { auto | pool }

Required. Specifies whether IPv4 addresses are assigned by using DHCP or from a pool of addresses held by the remote access server. The auto parameter specifies that addresses are assigned by using DHCP. If no DHCP server is available, a random, private address is assigned. The pool parameter specifies that addresses are assigned from a pool.

set addrreq

[ mode = ] { allow | deny }

[ mode = ] { allow | deny }

Required. Specifies whether clients are able to request their own IPv4 addresses. The allow parameter allows clients to request addresses. The deny parameter prevents clients from requesting addresses.

set broadcastnameresolution

[ mode = ] { enabled | disabled }

[ mode = ] { enabled | disabled }

Required. Specifies whether to enable or disable broadcast name resolution using NetBIOS over TCP/IP. The enabled parameter enables broadcast name resolution using NetBIOS over TCP/IP. The disabled parameter disables broadcast name resolution using NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

• To check the status of broadcastnameresolution, use the dump command.
  
  

add range

[ from = ] StartingIPAddress

[ to = ] EndingIPAddress

[ from = ] StartingIPAddress [ to = ] EndingIPAddress

Required. Specifies the range of IPv4 addresses to add. The StartingIPAddress parameter specifies the first IPv4 address in the range. The EndingIPAddress parameter specifies the last IPv4 address in the range.

To add the range of IPv4 addresses 10.2.2.10 through 10.2.2.20 to the static pool of IP addresses that the remote access server can assign, type:

add range from=10.2.2.10 to=10.2.2.20

delete range

[ from = ] StartingIPAddress

[ to = ] EndingIPAddress

[ from = ] StartingIPAddress [ to = ] EndingIPAddress

Required. Specifies the range of IPv4 addresses to delete. The StartingIPAddress parameter specifies the first IPv4 address in the range. The EndingIPAddress parameter specifies the last IPv4 address in the range.

To delete the range of IPv4 addresses 10.2.2.10 through 10.2.2.20 from the pool of static IPv4 addresses that the remote access server can assign, type:

delete range from=10.2.2.10 to=10.2.2.20

delete pool

set preferredadapter

[ name = ] InterfaceName

[ name = ] InterfaceName

Specifies the adapter used to obtain the IPv4 addresses for allocation (if configured to use DHCP) and the IPv4 address of DHCP and WINS servers for assignment to remote access clients and demand-dial routers. If no interface is specified, the server randomly selects an adapter when the Routing and Remote Access service is started.
