IPv4InterfaceProperties::Index Property

 

Gets the index of the network interface associated with the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address.

Namespace:   System.Net.NetworkInformation
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

public:
property int Index {
	virtual int get() abstract;
}

Property Value

Type: System::Int32

An Int32 that contains the index of the IPv4 interface.

If the value of this property is zero, IPv4 is not supported by this interface.

The following code example gets an IPv4InterfaceProperties object and displays its data.

void DisplayIPv4NetworkInterfaces()
{
   array<NetworkInterface^>^nics = NetworkInterface::GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
   IPGlobalProperties ^ properties = IPGlobalProperties::GetIPGlobalProperties();
   Console::WriteLine( "IPv4 interface information for {0}.{1}", properties->HostName, properties->DomainName );
   System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum23 = nics->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum23->MoveNext() )
   {
      NetworkInterface ^ adapter = safe_cast<NetworkInterface ^>(myEnum23->Current);

      // Only display informatin for interfaces that support IPv4.
      if ( adapter->Supports( NetworkInterfaceComponent::IPv4 ) == false )
      {
         continue;
      }
      Console::WriteLine();
      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 )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "No IPv4 information is available for this interface." );
         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 );
   }
}
