TCPIP_NETWORK_TYPE Enumeration
C
typedef enum {
TCPIP_NETWORK_TYPE_UNKNOWN,
TCPIP_NETWORK_TYPE_PRIMARY,
TCPIP_NETWORK_TYPE_ALIAS
} TCPIP_NETWORK_TYPE;
Description
Enumeration: TCPIP_NETWORK_TYPE.
Currently the network interfaces can be primary and aliases. A primary interface is a regular network interface that uses its own physical interface, having its own MAC driver.
Members
| Members | Description |
|---|---|
| TCPIP_NETWORK_TYPE_UNKNOWN | Unknown/invalid type. |
| TCPIP_NETWORK_TYPE_PRIMARY | Primary interface. |
| TCPIP_NETWORK_TYPE_ALIAS | Alias interface. |
Example
PIC32INT, ENC24J600, MRF24WN, WINC1500, WILC1000, etc.
An alias interface is an interface that shares the same physical network interface with a primary (regular) interface, including the MAC driver. Alias interfaces may have different parameters though, for example different IP addresses.
Support for alias interfaces must be enabled when the stack is built.
