ResolveIpNetEntry2 (Compact 2013)

  • [アーティクル]

3/26/2014

This function resolves the physical address for a neighbor IP address entry on the local device.

Syntax

NETIOAPI_API ResolveIpNetEntry2(
  __inout   PMIB_IPNET_ROW2 Row,
  __in_opt  const SOCKADDR_INET* SourceAddress
);

Parameters

  • Row
    A pointer to a MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure entry for a neighbor IP address entry. On successful return, this structure will be updated with the properties for neighbor IP address.
  • SourceAddress
    A pointer to a an optional source IP address that is used to select the interface to send the requests on for the neighbor IP address entry.

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is NO_ERROR.

If the function fails, the return value is one of the following error codes.

Error Code

Meaning

ERROR_BAD_NET_NAME

The network name cannot be found. This error is returned if the network that has the neighbor IP address is unreachable.

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

An invalid parameter was passed to the function. This error is returned if a NULL pointer is passed in the Row parameter, the Address member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 pointed to by the Row parameter was not set to a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, or both the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex members of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 pointed to by the Row parameter were unspecified. This error is also returned if a loopback address was passed in the Address member.

ERROR_NOT_FOUND

The specified interface could not be found. This error is returned if the network interface specified by the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 pointed to by the Row parameter could not be found.

ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

The request is not supported. This error is returned if no IPv4 stack is on the local device and an IPv4 address was specified in the Address member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 pointed to by the Row parameter or no IPv6 stack is on the local device and an IPv6 address was specified in the Address member.

Other

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

Remarks

The ResolveIpNetEntry2 function is used to resolve the physical address for a neighbor IP address entry on a local device. This function flushes any existing neighbor entry that matches the IP address on the interface and then resolves the physical address (MAC) address by sending ARP requests for an IPv4 address or neighbor solicitation requests for an IPv6 address. If the SourceAddress parameter is specified, the ResolveIpNetEntry2 function will select the interface with this source IP address to send the requests on. If the SourceAddress parameter is not specified (NULL was passed in this parameter), the ResolveIpNetEntry2 function will automatically select the best interface to send the requests on.

The Address member in the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure pointed to by the Row parameter must be initialized to a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address and family. In addition, at least one of the following members in the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure pointed to the Row parameter must be initialized to the interface: the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex. The fields are used in the order listed earlier. So if the InterfaceLuid is specified, this member is used to determine the interface on which to add the unicast IP address. If no value was set for the InterfaceLuid member (the values of this member was set to zero), the InterfaceIndex member is next used to determine the interface.

If the IP address passed in the Address member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 pointed to by the Row parameter is a duplicate of an existing neighbor IP address on the interface, the ResolveIpNetEntry2 function will flush the existing entry before resolving the IP address.

On output when the call is successful, ResolveIpNetEntry2 retrieves the other properties for the neighbor IP address and fills out the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure pointed to by the Row parameter. The PhysicalAddress and PhysicalAddressLength members in the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure pointed to by the Row parameter will be initialized to a valid physical address.
