Identifier

  • Article

Identifier specifies the interface to apply to the other settings within Interface. It can be expressed in any one of the following ways:

  • The string representation of an interface net locally unique identifier (NetLUID) (0x6000001000000)
  • The interface alias (for example, Local Area Connection)
  • The MAC address of the interface (00-11-22-33-44-55)

Values

Identifier

Specifies the interface the interface to apply to the other settings within Interface. Identifier is a string with a maximum length of 256 characters.

This string type does not support empty elements. Do not create an empty value for this setting.

Note

In computers with multiple occurrences of the same type of network interface, such as a LAN connection, the LUID and interface aliases for each interface are not guaranteed to be the same between different builds. After installation, verify that the settings were applied to the correct interface.
