Get-CIPAddress

NAME Get-CIPAddress



SYNOPSIS

Gets the IP addresses in use on the local computer.





SYNTAX

Get-CIPAddress [<CommonParameters>]



Get-CIPAddress [-V4] [-V6] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The .NET API for getting all the IP addresses in use on the current computer's network intefaces is pretty

cumbersome. If all you care about is getting the IP addresses in use on the current computer, and you don't care

where/how they're used, use this function.



If you *do* care about network interfaces, then you'll have to do it yourself using the [System.Net.NetworkInformat

ion.NetworkInterface](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... rface.aspx)

class's [GetAllNetworkInterfaces](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... etworkinte

rface.getallnetworkinterfaces.aspx) static method, e.g.



[Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface]::GetNetworkInterfaces()
