Add/Delete ip address

[Andrew]

I can add (or delete) an ip address using the following command from cmd.exe:

"netsh interface ipv4 add (or delete) adapterName x.x.x.x y.y.y.y"

How can I set / remove an ip address from a network adapter within Go? (Windows 7)

Thanks.

a) search the proper MS API and use that,
b) just call "netsh" with is/exec.Command

Thanks, I used the second method and it works fine. Just wondering if Go has native support for this function.

The netsh command can use the adapter(network interface) name to set the IP address like this:

netsh interface ipv4 add "Local Area Connection 2" 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

But from Go I get the interface name like this: {A3768A7A-8E5F-42F8-81E3-3BCAACEC9FBE}, this name doesn't work when using netsh.

Yes, I can use the adapter index number instead. But is there a way to convert this name to "Local Area Connection 2"?

Thanks.

I don't believe it is possible to use standard Go library to set / remove ip addresses on Windows. Tamás suggestion sounds reasonable to me. I don't know how to do it with MS API. But, if you provide "netsh" commands to do what you want, I will show you how to call them using os/exec package.
