Hello everyone, I'm setting up several network interfaces on identical systems using the same image and software. All machines should share the same network adapters, but I'm facing some issues: 1. I need to set IP address, subnet mask, metric, disable IPv6, and enable jumbo frames. For the last two points I can't find a script solution—PowerShell or Python might help if you can explain things simply. 2. Each computer seems to treat them differently; what one sees as Ethernet 2 it might be called something else (like Ethernet 7) on another, and sometimes PCIe NICs are used. Can we map them by adapter name (e.g., Intel I219-lm) or make sure they're recognized consistently? Thanks for any advice!

The process has its own setup in Windows. The term doesn’t match what I remember—it’s not a batch script. Microsoft often creates unique labels for features that others have used before, which can be frustrating.
