Router Interface Functions

Use the following functions to administer interfaces on the router.

Administration Function	Configuration Function
MprAdminInterfaceCreate	MprConfigInterfaceCreate
MprAdminInterfaceDelete	MprConfigInterfaceDelete
MprAdminInterfaceEnum	MprConfigInterfaceEnum
MprAdminInterfaceGetHandle	MprConfigInterfaceGetHandle
MprAdminInterfaceGetInfo	MprConfigInterfaceGetInfo
MprAdminInterfaceSetInfo	MprConfigInterfaceSetInfo

 

These functions affect the interfaces themselves, not clients running on the interfaces. For this reason, none of the functions require the caller to specify a particular transport (IP or IPX); although clients (such as routing protocols) are associated with particular transports, the interfaces themselves are not.

These functions are handled directly by DIM. They do not utilize the router managers.

The MprAdminInterfaceCreate and MprAdminInterfaceDelete functions cannot create or delete LAN interfaces. They can only create or delete demand-dial interfaces. See ROUTER_INTERFACE_TYPE for a list of interface types.
