Description

The interface-name subkeys represent TCP\IP communication interfaces , and they are named for the network name of the interface. Each subkey represents a particular interface, and it stores configuration data that applies only to that interface.

Most of the entries in the interface-name subkey described here can appear in any of the subkeys in the Interfaces subkey.

Some entries can appear in the Parameters subkey, in an interface-name subkey, or in both. If an entry appears in the Parameters subkey, it applies to all interfaces by default. If it appears in an interfaces-name subkey, it applies only to the interface that the subkey represents, and it takes precedence over the entry in the Parameters subkey when configuring that interface.

Note Image Note

The interface-name subkey is a variable representing the subkeys in the Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces subkey. It does not actually appear in the registry. This variable subkey displays the entries and subkeys that are common to many of the subkeys in the Interfaces subkey.
