The
SetGateways WMI class method specifies a list of gateways for routing packets to a subnet that is different from the subnet that the network adapter is connected to. This method only works when the Network Interface Card (NIC) is in the static IP mode.
This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see
Calling a Method.
Syntax
uint32 SetGateways(
[in] string DefaultIPGateway[],
[in] uint16 GatewayCostMetric[]
);
Parameters
- DefaultIPGateway [in]
-
List of IP addresses to gateways where network packets are routed.
- GatewayCostMetric [in]
-
Assigns a value that ranges from 1 to 9999, which is used to calculate the fastest and most reliable routes. The values of this parameter correspond with the values in the DefaultIPGateway parameter. The default value for a gateway is 1. This optional parameter is new for Windows 2000.
Return Value
Returns a value of 0 (zero) for a successful completion when a reboot is not required, 1 (one) for a successful completion when a reboot is required, and any other value if there is an error.
