GetIpNetEntry2 function (netioapi.h)

The GetIpNetEntry2 function retrieves information for a neighbor IP address entry on the local computer.

Syntax

IPHLPAPI_DLL_LINKAGE _NETIOAPI_SUCCESS_ NETIOAPI_API GetIpNetEntry2(
  [in, out] PMIB_IPNET_ROW2 Row
);

Parameters

[in, out] 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.

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.

Return code Description
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
The system cannot find the file specified. This error is returned if the network interface LUID or interface index specified by the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 pointed to by the Row parameter was not a value on the local machine.
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 neighbor IPv4 or IPv6 address, or both the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex members of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 pointed to by the Row parameter were unspecified.
ERROR_NOT_FOUND
Element not found. This error is returned if the network interface specified by the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure pointed to by the Row parameter does not match the neighbor IP address and address family specified in the Address member in the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure.
ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED
The request is not supported. This error is returned if no IPv4 stack is on the local computer and an IPv4 address was specified in the Address member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure pointed to by the Row parameter. This error is also returned if no IPv6 stack is on the local computer and an IPv6 address was specified in the Address member of the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure.
Other
Use FormatMessage to obtain the message string for the returned error.

Remarks

The GetIpNetEntry2 function is defined on Windows Vista and later.

The GetIpNetEntry2 function is used to retrieve a MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure entry.

On input, the Address member in the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure pointed to by the Row parameter must be initialized to a valid neighbor 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: the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex.

The fields are used in the order listed above. So if the InterfaceLuid is specified, then this member is used to determine the interface. If no value was set for the InterfaceLuid member (the values of this member was set to zero), then the InterfaceIndex member is next used to determine the interface.

On output when the call is successful, GetIpNetEntry2 retrieves the other properties for the neighbor IP address and fills out the MIB_IPNET_ROW2 structure pointed to by the Row parameter.

The GetIpNetTable2 function can be called to enumerate the neighbor IP address entries on a local computer.
