IPv4InterfaceProperties Class
Provides information about network interfaces that support Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4).
Namespace: System.Net.NetworkInformation
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The IPv4InterfaceProperties type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | IPv4InterfaceProperties | Initializes a new instance of the IPv4InterfaceProperties class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Index | Gets the index of the network interface associated with the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address. |
![]() | IsAutomaticPrivateAddressingActive | Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether this interface has an automatic private IP addressing (APIPA) address. |
![]() | IsAutomaticPrivateAddressingEnabled | Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether this interface has automatic private IP addressing (APIPA) enabled. |
![]() | IsDhcpEnabled | Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the interface is configured to use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to obtain an IP address. |
![]() | IsForwardingEnabled | Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether this interface can forward (route) packets. |
![]() | Mtu | Gets the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for this network interface. |
![]() | UsesWins | Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether an interface uses Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
This class provides access to configuration and address information for network interfaces that support IPv4. You do not create instances of this class; they are returned by the GetIPv4Properties method.
For IPV6 properties, see GetIPv6Properties.
The following code example gets an GetIPv4Properties object and displays its data.
public static void DisplayIPv4NetworkInterfaces() { NetworkInterface[] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces(); IPGlobalProperties properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties(); Console.WriteLine("IPv4 interface information for {0}.{1}", properties.HostName, properties.DomainName); Console.WriteLine(); foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in nics) { // Only display informatin for interfaces that support IPv4. if (adapter.Supports(NetworkInterfaceComponent.IPv4) == false) { continue; } Console.WriteLine(adapter.Description); // Underline the description. Console.WriteLine(String.Empty.PadLeft(adapter.Description.Length,'=')); IPInterfaceProperties adapterProperties = adapter.GetIPProperties(); // Try to get the IPv4 interface properties. IPv4InterfaceProperties p = adapterProperties.GetIPv4Properties(); if (p == null) { Console.WriteLine("No IPv4 information is available for this interface."); Console.WriteLine(); continue; } // Display the IPv4 specific data. Console.WriteLine(" Index ............................. : {0}", p.Index); Console.WriteLine(" MTU ............................... : {0}", p.Mtu); Console.WriteLine(" APIPA active....................... : {0}", p.IsAutomaticPrivateAddressingActive); Console.WriteLine(" APIPA enabled...................... : {0}", p.IsAutomaticPrivateAddressingEnabled); Console.WriteLine(" Forwarding enabled................. : {0}", p.IsForwardingEnabled); Console.WriteLine(" Uses WINS ......................... : {0}", p.UsesWins); Console.WriteLine(); } }
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
