SCOPE_LEVEL enumeration (ws2def.h)

  • Article

The SCOPE_LEVEL enumeration is used with the IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure to identify scope levels for IPv6 addresses.

Syntax

typedef enum {
  ScopeLevelInterface = 1,
  ScopeLevelLink = 2,
  ScopeLevelSubnet = 3,
  ScopeLevelAdmin = 4,
  ScopeLevelSite = 5,
  ScopeLevelOrganization = 8,
  ScopeLevelGlobal = 14,
  ScopeLevelCount = 16
} SCOPE_LEVEL;

Constants

 
ScopeLevelInterface
Value: 1
The scope is interface-level.
ScopeLevelLink
Value: 2
The scope is link-level.
ScopeLevelSubnet
Value: 3
The scope is subnet-level.
ScopeLevelAdmin
Value: 4
The scope is admin-level.
ScopeLevelSite
Value: 5
The scope is site-level.
ScopeLevelOrganization
Value: 8
The scope is organization-level.
ScopeLevelGlobal
Value: 14
The scope is global.
ScopeLevelCount
Value: 16

Remarks

The SCOPE_LEVEL enumeration is used in the ZoneIndices member of the IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES structure.

On Windows Vista and later as well as on the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK), the organization of header files has changed and the SCOPE_LEVEL enumeration type is defined in the Ws2def.h header file. Note that the Ws2def.h header file is automatically included in Winsock2.h, and should never be used directly.

Requirements

Requirement Value
Minimum supported client Windows XP [desktop apps only]
Minimum supported server Windows Server 2003 [desktop apps only]
Header ws2def.h (include Winsock2.h)
