You have a server named Server1 that runs a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 is configured to obtain an IPv4 address by using DHCP.
You need to configure the IPv4 settings of the network connection on Server1 as follows:
IP address: 10.1.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.240.0
Default gateway: 10.1.1.254
What should you run?
A.
netsh.exe
B.
netcfg.exe
C.
msconfig.exe
D.
ipconfig.exe
Explanation:
In order to configure TCP/IP settings such as the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS and
WINS addresses and many other options you can use Netsh.exe.
Incorrect:
Not D: Windows Server 2012 Core still has IPCONFIG.EXE that can be used to view the IP
configuration.
Modern servers typically come with several network interface ports. This causes IPCONFIG.EXE to
scroll off the screen when viewing its output. Consider piping the output if IPCONFIG.EXE to a file
and view it with Notepad.exe.

FYI .. worth knowing and less effort
ipconfig /all | more
This command gives the information one line at a time. It can be useful for those looking for specific information or who don’t want so many lines listed simultaneously. Use the Enter key to display the next line or the spacebar key to display one page at a time.

another helpful way to find ipconfig info from a server with multiple adapters
example ipconfig | findstr /i “DHCP IPv4 Gateway” will show all IPv4 adresses, default Gateways and if DHCP enabled or static
this search string can obviously be manipulated to show whatever you are searching for

Sorry, I forget to add /all to the above command
ipconfig /all | findstr /i “DHCP IPv4 Gateway”
