I have set a static IP address using the netsh command interface.

The IP address is indeed statically set. This is verified by being able to communicate with a device expecting the static IP address. It also verified by running the show config command, which lists DHCP as disabled and the proper IP address.

enter image description here

However... the IP assignment inside of Windows 10 Settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet > Unidentified Network > IP Settings is reading "Automatic (DHCP)".

enter image description here

Though the IPv4 address DOES match the static IP set.

Can anyone offer an explanation of why this is the case? How can I resolve it via command prompt? I worry problems will arise from these inconsistent values.

    Compare your first picture with IPCONFIG /ALL and make sure your first picture matches with ipconfig. The second picture says "unidentified network" and so may not be reliable.

  • @John Thanks for the suggestion. I compared and they do match. I am not concerned about the "Unidentified Network" naming, as I've noticed this behavior when connecting directly via Ethernet port to certain devices.

    So then your network configuration is fine since it matches with IPconfig.

  • @John Any explanation for why Settings GUI IP Assignment doesn't match?

    I cannot say for sure. When I use the icon in the System Tray, it takes me to Windows 10 Network Settings and that just gives me the IP and related settings, not whether DHCP. For this, I just use IPconfig to be certain.

This means your DNS server is assigned by DHCP. If you configure DNS manually, then you will see the picture below: enter image description here

This IP assignment settings is related with DNS configuration.
