Netsh commands for Routing

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

You can use the Netsh commands for Routing to administer routing servers from the command line, rather than through the Routing and Remote Access console. Administering servers from the command line is most useful in the following situations:

• You can administer routing servers more quickly from the command line than you can using a console. The ability is especially important if you are using a slow-speed network link, for example, a connection over a wide area network (WAN).

• You can administer routing servers more consistently by incorporating these commands into a script that you can run on many servers.

You can use the following commands at the command prompt for the appropriate Netsh context to administer routing servers. To run these Netsh commands on a remote Windows 2000 Server, you must first use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to a Windows 2000 Server that is running Terminal server. There might be functional differences between Netsh context commands on Windows 2000 and the Windows Server 2003 family.

For more information on Netsh, see Netsh overview and Enter a netsh context.

The following commands are available for use in the Netsh Routing IP IGMP context.

  Specifies the IP address to be deleted. If you do not specify an address, all address mappings from the NAT address pool are deleted from the interface.

Deletes an address range from the NAT address pool for the specified interface.

delete addressrange [InterfaceName=]InterfaceName [start=]IPAddress

• [ InterfaceName=] InterfaceName
  Required. Specifies, by name, the interface from which you want to delete an address range. The InterfaceName parameter must match the name of the interface as specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text (for example, "Interface Name").

• [ start=] IPAddress
  Required. Specifies the starting IP address of the range you want to delete.

Removes network address translation (NAT) from the specified interface.

delete interface [InterfaceName=]InterfaceName

• [ InterfaceName=] InterfaceName
  Required. Specifies, by name, the interface for which you want to remove the use of NAT. The InterfaceName parameter must match the name of the interface as specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text (for example, "Interface Name").

Deletes a protocol port mapping from the specified NAT-enabled interface.

delete portmapping [InterfaceName=]InterfaceName [[proto=]{tcp | udp}] [publicip=]{IPAddress | 0.0.0.0}] [[publicport=]Integer] [[privateip=]IPAddress] [privateport=]Integer]

• [ InterfaceName=] InterfaceName
  Required. Specifies, by name, the interface for which you want to delete a port mapping. The InterfaceName parameter must match the name of the interface as specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text (for example, "Interface Name").

• [ proto=]{ tcp| udp}
  Specifies the protocol type. The tcp parameter specifies that the protocol type is Transmission Control Protocol. The udp parameter specifies that the protocol type is User Datagram Protocol.

• [ publicip=]{ IPAddress| 0.0.0.0}
  Specifies an external IP address on the public network or 0.0.0.0 to indicate any IP address not specified within the private network address range.

• [ publicport=] Integer
  Specifies the public protocol port by using a number from 0 to 9999.

• [ privateip=] IPAddress
  Specifies an IP address within the private network range.

• [ privateport=] Integer
  Specifies the private protocol port by using a number from 0 to 9999.

Sets global parameters for NAT.

set global {[[tcptimeoutmins=]Integer] | [[udptimeoutmins=]Integer] | [[LogLevel=]{none | error | warn | info}]}

• [ tcptimeoutmins=] Integer
  Specifies, in minutes, the time-out value for TCP mappings.

• [ udptimeoutmins=] Integer
  Specifies, in minutes, the time-out value for UDP mappings.

• [ LogLevel=]{ none| error| warn| info}
  Specifies which events should be logged. The none parameter specifies that no events related to NAT should be logged. The error parameter specifies that only errors related to NAT should be logged. The warn parameter specifies that only warnings related to NAT should be logged. The info parameter specifies that all events related to NAT should be logged.

Configure NAT parameters for the specified interface.

set interface [InterfaceName=]InterfaceName [mode=]{Full | AddressOnly | Private}

• [ InterfaceName=] InterfaceName
  Required. Specifies, by name, the interface for which you want to configure parameters. The InterfaceName parameter must match the name of the interface as specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text (for example, "Interface Name").

• [ mode=]{ Full| AddressOnly| Private}
  Required. Specifies whether the interface should be enabled for full, addressonly, or private mode.

Displays network address translation (NAT) global configuration.

show global

none

Displays network address translation (NAT) configuration for the specified interface.

show interface [InterfaceName=]InterfaceName

• [ InterfaceName=] InterfaceName
  Required. Specifies, by name, the interface for which you want to display information. The InterfaceName parameter must match the name of the interface as specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text (for example, "Interface Name").

To enable router discovery for the interface named Local Area Connection, specifying a minimum interval of 7 minutes, a maximum interval of 10 minutes, a life of 30 minutes for router discovery packets, and a zero (0) or no preference level, type the following from the netsh routing prompt:

add interface "Local Area Connection" enable 7 10 30 0
