Windows 10: How to set IP address using netsh but using MAC address?

[mrjayviper]

So I have a dual port gigabit Ethernet card and I want to setup their IPs via a batch script.

I have used this and it works at the time I first wrote it.

    netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Ethernet" static 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0
    netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Ethernet 2" static 192.168.3.2 255.255.255.0

But the problem is when I reinstalled Windows. Windows has swapped them so the IPs got swapped as well.

I am hoping to can help me with another script/command where I can use MAC address instead of "interface name" since this name can be swapped.

Thanks

Use powershell, and ...

Set-NetworkAdapterIPAddress [-MACAddress] [-IPAddress] [-Subnet] [-ComputerName] [-Credential]

Having dealt with this situation before, I question the logic of tying an ip address to a mac address. If you replace a network adapter you still need to edit the script. Why not just change the names of the ethernet adapters when you plug them in? It only needs to be done once. There's no way of getting out of editing something, so you may as well do your "editing" when you first install windows.
