# Console command ifconfig The component offers a console with a command that enables runtime network interface configuration and monitoring for any example project. ## API ### Steps to enable console in an example code: 1. Add this component to your project using ```idf.py add-dependency``` command. 2. In the main file of the example, add the following line: ```c #include "console_ifconfig.h" ``` 3. Ensure esp-netif and NVS flash is initialized and default event loop is created in your app_main(): ```c ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_netif_init()); ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_event_loop_create_default()); esp_err_t ret = nvs_flash_init(); //Initialize NVS if (ret == ESP_ERR_NVS_NO_FREE_PAGES || ret == ESP_ERR_NVS_NEW_VERSION_FOUND) { ESP_ERROR_CHECK(nvs_flash_erase()); ret = nvs_flash_init(); } ESP_ERROR_CHECK(ret); ``` 4. In your app_main() function, add the following line as the last line: ```c ESP_ERROR_CHECK(console_cmd_init()); // Initialize console // Register all plugin command added to your project ESP_ERROR_CHECK(console_cmd_all_register()); // To register only ifconfig command skip calling console_cmd_all_register() ESP_ERROR_CHECK(console_cmd_ifconfig_register()); ESP_ERROR_CHECK(console_cmd_start()); // Start console ``` ### Adding a plugin command or component: To add a plugin command or any component from IDF component manager into your project, simply include an entry within the `idf_component.yml` file.

Note: Disabling the DHCP server and client enables the use of static IP configuration. ```
