got it.

 

you need a text file formatted as in the example below.

 

 

#========================

# Interface configuration

#========================

pushd interface

 

reset all

 

 

popd

# End of interface configuration

 

 

 

# ----------------------------------

# Interface IP Configuration

# ----------------------------------

pushd interface ip

 

 

# Interface IP Configuration for "Local Area Connection"

 

set address name = "Local Area Connection" source = static addr = 192.168.0.2 mask = 255.255.255.0

set address name = "Local Area Connection" gateway = 192.168.0.1 gwmetric = 1

# --------------------------------------------

# Add extra gateway example

#---------------------------------------------

# add address name = "Local Area Connection" gateway = 192.168.0.254 gwmetric = 1

set dns name = "Local Area Connection" source = static addr = 192.168.0.1

# --------------------------------------------

# Add extra dns entry example

#---------------------------------------------

add dns name = "Local Area Connection" addr = 192.168.0.254

set wins name = "Local Area Connection" source = static addr = none

popd

# End of interface IP configuration

 

 

Then

 

execute the text file with the command

 

netsh -f {filename}
