SetIPXFrameTypeNetworkPairs Method of the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Class

Starting with Windows Vista, the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) technology is no longer supported and this method is obsolete.

Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000:  The SetIPXFrameTypeNetworkPairs WMI class method is used to set the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network number and frame pairs for this network adapter. Windows uses an IPX network number for routing purposes. A network number is assigned to each configured frame type and network adapter combination on your computer system. This number is sometimes referred to as the external network number, and it must be unique for each network segment. If the frame type is set to AUTO, the network number should be zero.

This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see Calling a Method.

Syntax

MOF
uint32 SetIPXFrameTypeNetworkPairs(
  [in]  string IPXNetworkNumber[],
  [in]  uint32 IPXFrameType[]
);

Parameters

IPXNetworkNumber [in]

Array of characters that uniquely identify an IPX network. This IPX number is sometimes referred to as the External Network Number, and it must be unique for each network segment. The values in this string list must have a corresponding value in the IPXFrameType parameter that identifies the packet frame type used for this network.

IPXFrameType [in]

Integer array of frame type identifiers. The values in this array correspond to the elements in the IPXNetworkNumber parameter.
