Exporting and importing TCP/IP configuration

Have you ever wondered whether you could backup and restore your Windows TCP/IP configuration? As it turns out, the trick is very simple. You can use the command line tool netsh to perform this task. Since the backup created by this tool is a simple text file, you can edit the settings as you wish before restoring.

Exporting

1. Go to Run (Win+R), type cmd and press OK.

Run (Win+R)

2. Type the below command and press Enter
netsh -c interface dump>location:\filename.txt
(make sure to replace location:\filename.txt with an actual location and filename)

A text file similar to the one below, will be created in the location you entered

Now you can make required changes to the output text file.

Importing

1. To import a previously exported TCP/IP configuration file, Go to the command prompt and type the below command.

netsh -f location:\filename.txt

(make sure to replace the location:\filename.txt with the actual location and file name of the exported file)
