IPv6InterfaceProperties Class

Definition

Provides information about network interfaces that support Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).

public abstract class IPv6InterfaceProperties
Inheritance
IPv6InterfaceProperties

Examples

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

public static void DisplayIPv6NetworkInterfaces()
{
    NetworkInterface[] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
    IPGlobalProperties properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties();
    Console.WriteLine("IPv6 interface information for {0}.{1}",
       properties.HostName, properties.DomainName);

    int count = 0;

    foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in nics)
    {
        // Only display informatin for interfaces that support IPv6.
        if (!adapter.Supports(NetworkInterfaceComponent.IPv6))
        {
            continue;
        }

        count++;

        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 IPv6 interface properties.
        IPv6InterfaceProperties p = adapterProperties.GetIPv6Properties();

        if (p == null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("No IPv6 information is available for this interface.");
            Console.WriteLine();
            continue;
        }
        // Display the IPv6 specific data.
        Console.WriteLine("  Index ............................. : {0}", p.Index);
        Console.WriteLine("  MTU ............................... : {0}", p.Mtu);
    }

    if (count == 0)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("  No IPv6 interfaces were found.");
        Console.WriteLine();
    }
}

Remarks

This class provides access to configuration and address information for network interfaces that support IPv6. You do not create instances of this class; they are returned by the GetIPv6Properties method.

For IPV4 properties, see GetIPv4Properties.

Constructors

IPv6InterfaceProperties()

Initializes a new instance of the IPv6InterfaceProperties class.

Properties

Index

Gets the index of the network interface associated with an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address.

Mtu

Gets the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for this network interface.

Methods

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetScopeId(ScopeLevel)

Gets the scope ID of the network interface associated with an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address.

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.
