How to turn off and on ethernet adapter

[OM3]

Has anyone got any DOS code to turn off and on the Ethernet adapter?

I googled and found this:

Code: Select all

Start elevated Command Prompt.

Get NIC list and index number:
wmic nic get name, index

Enable NIC with index number: (eg: 7)
wmic path win32_networkadapter where index=7 call enable

Disable NIC with index number: (eg: 7)
wmic path win32_networkadapter where index=7 call disable

I'm not sure what elevated Command Prompt is?
Is the above code different to DOS?

Thanks

To Disable 'Enabled' Ethernet Adapters:

Code: Select all

WMIC Path Win32_NetworkAdapter Where "Not MACAddress Is NULL And NetEnabled=TRUE" Call Disable

To Enable 'Disabled' Ethernet Adapters:

Code: Select all

WMIC Path Win32_NetworkAdapter Where "Not MACAddress Is NULL And NetEnabled=FALSE" Call Enable
