ipconfig

Screenshot of ipconfig /all output in Windows XP

In computing, ipconfig (internet protocol configuration) in Microsoft Windows is a console application that displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and can modify Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP and Domain Name System DNS settings.^[1]

In most cases, the ipconfig command is used with the command-line switch /all. This results in more detailed information than ipconfig alone.

Mac OS X ipconfig

ipconfig in Mac OS X serves as a wrapper to the IPConfiguration agent, and can be used to control the BootP and DHCP client from the command line interface.^[2] Like most UNIX-based operating systems, Mac OS X also uses ifconfig for more direct control over network interfaces, such as configuring static IP addresses.
