-DefaultHopLimit<UInt32[]>

Gets IPv6 protocol configuration by the DefaultHopLimit. DefaultHopLimit sets the default value for the CurrentHopLimit property in NetIPInterface. The CurrentHopLimit is the value that the IP interface writes in the hop limit field in all outbound IPv6 traffic.

-DhcpMediaSense<DhcpMediaSense[]>

Gets IPv6 protocol configuration by the DHCPMediaSense. DHCP Media Sense provides a mechanism for the network interface card (NIC) to notify the protocol stack of media connect and disconnect events. These events trigger the DHCP client to take some action, such as attempting to renew a DHCP lease or removing routes related to a disconnected network. One use of Media Sense enables the network parameters on the notebook computer of a roaming user to automatically and transparently update without rebooting when the user moves from one location to another. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
-- Enabled: IPv6 protocol configuration that contains the DhcpMediaSense set to Enabled.
-- Disabled: IPv6 protocol configuration that contains the DhcpMediaSense set to Disabled.
The default value is Enabled.
