Every device connected to the internet is given a unique identification called an IP address. You may determine your device's IP address using the Command Prompt or cmd on Windows if you're attempting to diagnose network problems, set up a router, or are just curious. In this blog post, we'll go through how to use cmd to retrieve an IP address.
First, launch a command prompt.
Press Windows key + R on your keyboard, type "cmd" in the Run dialogue box, and press Enter to launch Command Prompt. As an alternative, you may use the Start menu to look up "cmd" and then select the Command Prompt application.
2. Enter the command
Type "ipconfig" and hit Enter after starting Command Prompt. Your IP address will be shown along with other network connection details.
Find Your IP Address in Step 3
Look for the "IPv4 Address" or "Default Gateway" entry in the "ipconfig" command's output. One of these categories will contain a listing of your IP address. Your device's IP address is its IPv4 address, while your router's IP address is its default gateway.
You can notice many IP addresses displayed if you have multiple network adapters or are linked to several different networks. Verify the IP address you obtain is the right one for the network you are presently connected to.
4. Close the Command Prompt
Once you have discovered your IP address, you can either close the Command Prompt window or type "exit" and press Enter to end the session.
Finally, locating your IP address in cmd is a simple and quick process. Open Command Prompt, type the "ipconfig" command, and then check the output for the IPv4 Address or Default Gateway item. Do not forget to locate the proper IP address for the network you are presently connected to.
