Powershell get ipv4 address into a variable

Question

Is there an easy way in powershell 3.0 Windows 7 to get the local computer's ipv4 address into a variable?

Answer 1

Here is another solution:

$env:HostIP = (
    Get-NetIPConfiguration |
    Where-Object {
        $_.IPv4DefaultGateway -ne $null -and
        $_.NetAdapter.Status -ne "Disconnected"
    }
).IPv4Address.IPAddress

Answer 2

How about this? (not my real IP Address!)

PS C:\> $ipV4 = Test-Connection -ComputerName (hostname) -Count 1  | Select IPV4Address

PS C:\> $ipV4

IPV4Address                                                  
-----------
192.0.2.0

Note that using localhost would just return and IP of 127.0.0.1

PS C:\> $ipV4 = Test-Connection -ComputerName localhost -Count 1  | Select IPV4Address

PS C:\> $ipV4

IPV4Address                                                             
-----------                                                  
127.0.0.1

The IP Address object has to be expanded out to get the address string

PS C:\> $ipV4 = Test-Connection -ComputerName (hostname) -Count 1  | Select -ExpandProperty IPV4Address 

PS C:\> $ipV4

Address            : 556228818
AddressFamily      : InterNetwork
ScopeId            : 
IsIPv6Multicast    : False
IsIPv6LinkLocal    : False
IsIPv6SiteLocal    : False
IsIPv6Teredo       : False
IsIPv4MappedToIPv6 : False
IPAddressToString  : 192.0.2.0


PS C:\> $ipV4.IPAddressToString
192.0.2.0

Answer 3

If I use the machine name this works. But is kind of like a hack (because I am just picking the first value of ipv4 address that I get.)

$ipaddress=([System.Net.DNS]::GetHostAddresses('PasteMachineNameHere')|Where-Object {$_.AddressFamily -eq "InterNetwork"}   |  select-object IPAddressToString)[0].IPAddressToString

Note that you have to replace the value PasteMachineNameHere in the above expression

This works too

$localIpAddress=((ipconfig | findstr [0-9].\.)[0]).Split()[-1]

Answer 4

(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | where {$_.DefaultIPGateway -ne $null}).IPAddress | select-object -first 1

Answer 5

Here is what I ended up using

$ipaddress = $(ipconfig | where {$_ -match 'IPv4.+\s(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})' } | out-null; $Matches[1])

which breaks down as

• execute ipconfig command - get all the network interface information
• use powershell's where filter with a regular expression
• regular expression finds the line with "IPv4" and a set of 4 blocks each with 1-3 digits separated by periods, i.e. a v4 IP address
• disregard the output by piping it to null
• finally get the first matched group as defined by the brackets in the regular expression.
• catch that output in $ipaddress for later use.

Another variant using $env environment variable to grab hostname:

Test-Connection -ComputerName $env:computername -count 1 | Select-Object IPV4Address

or if you just want the IP address returned without the property header

(Test-Connection -ComputerName $env:computername -count 1).IPV4Address.ipaddressTOstring

Answer 7

This one liner gives you the IP address:

(Test-Connection -ComputerName $env:computername -count 1).ipv4address.IPAddressToString

Include it in a Variable?

$IPV4=(Test-Connection -ComputerName $env:computername -count 1).ipv4address.IPAddressToString

Answer 8

I recently had the same issue. So I wrote a script to parse it from the ipconfig /all output. This script is easily modifiable to obtain any of the parameters of the interfaces and it works on Windows 7 also.

1. Get output of IP config in LineNumber | Line format

$ip_config = $(ipconfig /all | % {$_ -split "rn"} | Select-String -Pattern ".*" | select LineNumber, Line)

2. Get list of interfaces (+ last line of ipconfig output) in LineNumber | Line format

$interfaces = $($ip_config | where {$_.Line -notmatch '^\s*$'} | where {$_.Line -notmatch '^\s'}) + $($ip_config | Select -last 1)

3. Filter through the interfaces list for the specific interface you want

$LAN = $($interfaces | where {$_.Line -match 'Wireless Network Connection:$'})

4. Get the start and end line numbers of chosen interface from output

$i = $interfaces.IndexOf($LAN)
$start = $LAN.LineNumber
$end = $interfaces[$i+1].LineNumber

5. Pick the lines from start..end

$LAN = $ip_config | where {$_.LineNumber -in ($start..$end)}

6. Get IP(v4) address field (returns null if no IPv4 address present)

$LAN_IP = @($LAN | where {$_ -match 'IPv4.+:\s(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})'})
$LAN_IP = &{If ($LAN_IP.Count -gt 0) {$Matches[1]} Else {$null}}

Answer 9

$a = ipconfig
$result = $a[8] -replace "IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . :",""

Also check which index of ipconfig has the IPv4 Address

Answer 10

To grab the device's IPv4 addresses, and filter to only grab ones that match your scheme (i.e. Ignore and APIPA addresses or the LocalHost address). You could say to grab the address matching 192.168.200.* for example.

$IPv4Addr = Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily ipV4 | where {$_.IPAddress -like X.X.X.X} | Select IPAddress
