ipconfig: List all network interfaces.
$ ipconfig getiflist
try on your machine

The command "ipconfig getiflist" is used to retrieve the list of network interfaces and their related information on a computer running Windows operating system.

When executed in the command prompt, this command queries the IP Configuration (ipconfig) utility to get the interface (if) list. It returns a list of all available network interfaces installed on the computer, such as Ethernet adapters, Wi-Fi adapters, and virtual adapters.

The information displayed typically includes the index number of each interface, its name (e.g., "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection"), and the interface's details such as the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and other related settings, if applicable.

This command is useful for troubleshooting networking issues, verifying the presence of network interfaces, or simply obtaining information about the installed networking hardware on the computer.
