Definition

Namespace:

System.Net.NetworkInformation

Assembly:

Source:

IPv6InterfaceProperties.cs

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

public abstract int Index { get; }

member this.Index : int

Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property Index As Integer

Property Value

Int32

An Int32 value that contains the index of the network interface for IPv6 address.

Examples

The following code example gets an IPv6InterfaceProperties object and displays its data.

void DisplayIPv6NetworkInterfaces()
{
   array<NetworkInterface^>^nics = NetworkInterface::GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
   IPGlobalProperties ^ properties = IPGlobalProperties::GetIPGlobalProperties();
   Console::WriteLine( "IPv6 interface information for {0}.{1}", 
       properties->HostName, properties->DomainName );

   int count = 0;

   System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum24 = nics->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum24->MoveNext() )
   {
      NetworkInterface ^ adapter = safe_cast<NetworkInterface ^>(myEnum24->Current);

      // Only display informatin for interfaces that support IPv6.
      if ( adapter->Supports( NetworkInterfaceComponent::IPv6 ) == false )
      {
         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 )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "No IPv6 information is available for this interface." );
         continue;

Remarks

If the value of this property is zero, IPv6 is not supported by this interface.
