How to Add IP Addresses to Windows Server

---

Using netsh command

---

The command prompt method is fastest and we suggest it first. To add IP addresses to a Windows VPS or Windows Server, first open Command Prompt at Start > Run > cmd.

Enter the command for each new IP address to add to the system:

netsh interface ipv4 add address “Local Area Connection” 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 

Change “192.168.1.2” to your additional IP. The subnet mask is usually 255.255.255.0 – Please contact us for confirmation of netmask before doing this.

Adding IP Addresses to Windows

Navigate to Control Panel

Network and Sharing Center

And Change Adapter Settings

Select Ethernet and Right click then choose TCP/IPV4 and click Properties.

Check that your server is configured to use a specific IP address, netmask, and gateway.

Click Advanced… and Add to enter your additional IP addresses and gateway. In most cases, the same Subnet mask as the primary IP is used.

Once all the IP addresses are configured, click OK through all of the settings windows. The IP addresses are now connected to the system.
