AIM: Configuring networking and configure network services for
windows server 2016
1. open virtual machine
2. click on settings and check whether adapter configured or not if not
change it to bridge adapter
3. click on start (window server 2016) and check for internet status
whether running or not.
4. Setting via GUI, we will take private IP address,
5. Right click on the network icon on task bar and select open network
and sharing setting.
6. Select change adapter setting
7. Right click the adapter you are about to change the IP settings and
then click on properties.
8. Click internet version 4(TCP/IPv4) click on properties button
9. Here enable use the following Ip address and enter the static IP
address for the server, subnet mask default gateway and DNS
10. 192.168.0.100 is preconfigured IP address, so no internet is
required to access it. It can either be the assigned IP for device on
the network
CONFIGURING NETWORK USIG POWERSHELL

1. First, we need to identify the Interface Index number for the

network adapter we want and then based on that, we will proceed
to set it up. By typing the Get-Net IP Configuration cmdlet you
can see the current IP settings of all the network adapters of the
machine. Note the Interface Index. Alternatively, type the Get-Net
Adapter cmdlet to see the available network adapters. Note the
number again in if Index
2. To set the IP address, the Subnet (Prefix Length) and the Default
Gateway, type the following command by changing the addresses
according to your own network. New-Net IP Address -Interface
 Index 2 -IP Address 192.168.2.100 -Prefix Length 24 -Default
Gateway 192.168.2.1
3. To set up DNS servers, use the following Set-Dns Client Server
Address command. Set-Dns Client Server Address -Inter face
Index 2 -Server Addresses 192.168.2.10, 192.168.2.11
4. You can use the Get- cmdlet again to confirm that it has declared
the correct settings
C. Configure network settings using the S Config tool

Configure network settings using the SConfig tool

1. For a more interactive process, you can use the S Config tool
through PowerShell. Type S Config and press Enter.
2. To change the network settings, type the number 8 that
corresponds to Network Settings. Type the index number of the
adapter you want to set up.
3. Then use Options 1 and 2 to set the IP address, Subnet Mask,
Default Gateway, and the adapter’s DNS servers.

Configure network settings using the Command Prompt

1. we will use the netsh command.

2. First, run the following command to note the name of the
adapter you are going to set up. In our case is Ethernet0. netsh
interface ipv4 show config
3. First, run the following command to note the name of the
adapter you are going to set up. In our case is Ethernet0. netsh
interface ipv4 show config To change your IP address, Subnet
Mask and Default Gateway, type the following command by
changing the addresses according to your own settings netsh
interface ipv4 set address name = "INTERFACE NAME" static
IP_ADDRESS SUBNET_MASK GATEWAY
4. For example, it will be something like this. netsh interface ipv4
set address name = "Ethernet0" static 192.168.2.100
255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
5. Next, to configure the Primary DNS Server, use the following
command. netsh interface ipv4 set dns name = "INTERFACE
NAME" static DNS_SERVER
6. For example, it will be something like this. netsh interface ipv4
set dns name = "Ethernet0" static 192.168.2.10
7. To configure the Secondary DNS Server, use the following
command. netsh interface ipv4 set dns name = "INTERFACE
NAME" static DNS_SERVER index = 2
8. Similarly to the previous example. netsh interface ipv4 set dns
name = "Ethernet0" static 192.168.2.11 index = 2 Finally, you
can use the first command again to confirm that your settings
are correct
