SetIpNetEntry2 function

The SetIpNetEntry2 function sets the physical address of an existing neighbor IP address entry on a local computer.

Syntax

NETIOAPI_API SetIpNetEntry2(
  _In_ PMIB_IPNET_ROW2 Row
);

Parameters

  • Row [in]
    A pointer to a MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure entry for a neighbor IP address entry.

Return value

SetIpNetEntry2 return STATUS_SUCCESS if the function succeeds.

If the function fails, SetIpNetEntry2 returns one of the following error codes:

Return code Description
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER

An invalid parameter was passed to the function. This error is returned in the following situations.

  • A NULL pointer was passed in the Row parameter.

  • The Address member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure that the Row parameter points to was not set to a valid unicast, anycast, or multicast IPv4 or IPv6 address.

  • The PhysicalAddress and PhysicalAddressLength members of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure were not set to a valid physical address.

  • Both InterfaceLuid and InterfaceIndex members of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure were unspecified.

  • A loopback address was passed in the Address member.

STATUS_NOT_FOUND

The specified interface could not be found. This error is returned if the function cannot find the network interface that is specified by the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure that the Row parameter points to.

STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED

The request is not supported. This error is returned if no IPv4 stack is located on the local computer and an IPv4 address was specified in the Address member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure that the Row parameter points to, or if no IPv6 stack is located on the local computer and an IPv6 address was specified in the Address member.

Other

Use the FormatMessage function to obtain the message string for the returned error.

Remarks

Your driver must initialize the following members of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure that the Row parameter points to.

  • Address
    Set to a valid unicast, anycast, or multicast IPv4 or IPv6 address and family.

  • PhysicalAddress and PhysicalAddressLength
    Set to a valid physical address.

  • InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex
    These members are used in the order that is listed earlier. So if InterfaceLuid is specified, this member is used to determine the interface. If no value was set for the InterfaceLuid member (the value of this member was set to zero), the InterfaceIndex member is next used to determine the interface.

The SetIpNetEntry2 function fails if the IP address that is passed in the Address member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure that the Row parameter points to is not an existing neighbor IP address on the interface that is specified.
