What is IP Config

ipconfig is a tool used to access the information stored about the current network interfaces installed in a computer.

It gives you a list of data such as:

  • ipconfig /all
  • ipconfig /release
    • Releases the current DHCP lease for all network adaptors thus in turn removing the IP address configuration assigned to us
  • ipconfig /renew
    • Requests a new DHCP Lease thus assigning ourselves a new IP.
  • ipconfig /renew6 /release6
    • Does exactly what ipconfig /renew & ipconfig /release does but with IPv6
  • ipconfig /flushdns
    • Clears the DNS resolver Cache, which can resolve DNS problems.
  • ipconfig /displaydns
    • Just displays the DNS resolver cache
