LanIdentifier Class

Definition

Namespace:
Windows.Networking.Connectivity
Edit

Represents physical identification data for a specific NetworkAdapter object. Retrieve LanIdentifier instances through NetworkInformation.GetLanIdentifiers.

Windows requirements

Device family
Windows 10 (introduced in 10.0.10240.0 - for Xbox, see UWP features that aren't yet supported on Xbox)
API contract
Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract (introduced in v1.0)

Examples

Enumerate LAN identifiers (C#):

using Windows.Networking.Connectivity;

var identifiers = NetworkInformation.GetLanIdentifiers();
foreach (var id in identifiers)
{
    var infra = id.InfrastructureId;
    var port = id.PortId;
    var type = id.NetworkAdapterId;
    // App-specific: correlate infra/port values with diagnostics telemetry.
}

Remarks

Location data is expressed either as a BSSID if the network adapter media type is Wireless LAN, or as a tuple <ChassisId, Port Number> if the network adapter type is Ethernet. The data is represented according to the LLDP protocol.

Properties

InfrastructureId

Gets a LanIdentifierData object containing locality identification information for the network adapter's connection.
NetworkAdapterId

Gets the adapter GUID that identifies the network adapter to associate with the locality information.
PortId

Gets a LanIdentifierData object containing the port ID from the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) locality information for an Ethernet type network adapter.
