A logical interface for the server is an IP address.

One physical network interface card (NIC) can have multiple IP addresses assigned to it.
To be compliant to the GigE Vision protocol there can be only one CVB GEV Server instance per IP address.
If more than one instance is needed on one NIC, assign multiple IP addresses to it. See your operating system manual for a description on how to assign IP addresses to a NIC.

 

To make the enumeration of the available logical interfaces easier in your application the CVB GEV Server library provides InterfaceList functions which provide IP addresses, subnet masks and MAC addresses of the available interfaces the CVB GEV Server can use.
