Get-LocalIp #
SYNOPSIS #
Get-LocalIp attempts to determine the local IP address
SYNTAX #
Get-LocalIp [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION #
Get-LocalIp attempts to determine the local IP address by matching it with the gateway address. It first retrieves the gateway address using the Get-GatewayIp function. Then, it retrieves all IPv4 addresses assigned to the network interfaces that have been assigned either manually or through DHCP. For each address, it retrieves the subnet mask using the Get-Subnet function and checks if the bitwise AND between the IP address and the subnet mask matches the bitwise AND between the gateway address and the subnet mask. If a match is found, the IP address is returned. If no match is found, the function returns “0.0.0.0”.
