Netsh Helper Component Description

Netsh, or Netsh.exe, is a command-line and scripting utility for Windows 2000 and Windows 2002 networking components for local or remote computers. The Netsh utility can also save a configuration script in a text file for archival purposes or for configuring other servers.

The Netsh utility is a shell that can support multiple Windows 2000 and Windows 2002 components through the addition of Netsh helper dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). A Netsh helper DLL extends Netsh functionality by providing additional commands to monitor or configure a specific Windows 2000 or Windows 2002 networking component. Each Netsh helper DLL provides a context, a group of commands for a specific networking component. Within each context, subcontexts can exist.

The Remote Access Services (RAS) Helper context has the following subcontexts:

• AAAA – Settings specific to authorization, authentication, auditing, and accounting.
• APPLETALK – Settings specific to the AppleTalk protocol.
• Internet Protocol (IP) - Settings specific to the TCP/IP protocol.
• Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) - Settings specific to the IPX protocol.
• NetBEUI Frame (NBF) - Settings specific to the Net BIOS Enhanced User Interface (NetBEUI) protocol.
