CreateAnycastIpAddressEntry function

The CreateAnycastIpAddressEntry function adds a new anycast IP address entry on a local computer.

Parameters

Return value

CreateAnycastIpAddressEntry returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the function succeeds.

If the function fails, CreateAnycastIpAddressEntry returns one of the following error codes:

Return code Description
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER An invalid parameter was passed to the function. This error is returned if a NULL pointer is passed in the Row parameter, the Address member of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure that the Row parameter points to was not set to a valid unicast IPv4 or IPv6 address, or both InterfaceLuid and InterfaceIndex members of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure were unspecified.
STATUS_NOT_FOUND The specified interface could not be found. This error is returned if the function cannot find the network interface that is specified by the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex member of the MIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure that the Row parameter points to.
STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED The request is not supported. This error is returned if no IPv4 stack is located on the local computer and an IPv4 address was specified in the Address member of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure that the Row parameter points to, or if no IPv6 stack is located on the local computer and an IPv6 address was specified in the Address member.
ERROR_OBJECT_ALREADY_EXISTS The object already exists. This error is returned if the Address member of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure that the Row parameter points to is a duplicate of an existing anycast IP address on the interface that is specified by the InterfaceLuid or InterfaceIndex member of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure.
Other Use the FormatMessage function to obtain the message string for the returned error.

Remarks

Your driver must initialize the following members of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure that the Row parameter points to.

The ScopeId member of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure that the Row parameter points to is ignored when the CreateAnycastIpAddressEntry function is called. The ScopeId member is automatically determined by the interface that the address is added on.

The CreateAnycastIpAddressEntry function fails if the anycast IP address that is passed in the Address member of the MIB_ANYCASTIPADDRESS_ROW structure that the Row parameter points to is a duplicate of an existing anycast IP address on the interface.
