Property Detail

### active

property

`active:Boolean`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 2

Reports whether this interface is active.

Implementation
`public function get active():Boolean`
`public function set active(value:Boolean):void`

### addresses

property

`addresses:Vector.<InterfaceAddress>`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 2

The list of the addresses bound to this network interface.

Implementation
`public function get addresses():Vector.<InterfaceAddress>`
`public function set addresses(value:Vector.<InterfaceAddress>):void`

### displayName

property

`displayName:String`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 2

The display name of this network interface.

Implementation
`public function get displayName():String`
`public function set displayName(value:String):void`

### hardwareAddress

property

`hardwareAddress:String`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 2

The hardware address of this network interface.

The hardware address is typically the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the network adapter or interface card.

Implementation
`public function get hardwareAddress():String`
`public function set hardwareAddress(value:String):void`

### mtu

property

`mtu:int`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 2

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) of this network interface.

If the `mtu` value is reported as `-1`, then the actual MTU is unknown.

Implementation
`public function get mtu():int`
`public function set mtu(value:int):void`

### name

property

`name:String`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 2

The name of this network interface.

Implementation
`public function get name():String`
`public function set name(value:String):void`

### parent

property

`parent:NetworkInterface`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 2

The NetworkInterface object representing the parent interface (if this interface has a parent).

This interface could have a parent if it is a subinterface. The `parent` property is `null` if this interface has no parent.

Implementation
`public function get parent():NetworkInterface`
`public function set parent(value:NetworkInterface):void`

### subInterfaces

property

`subInterfaces:Vector.<NetworkInterface>`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 2

The list of subinterfaces attached to this network interface.

Subinterfaces are often virtual interfaces. The `subInterfaces` property is `null` if this interface has no subinterfaces.

Implementation
`public function get subInterfaces():Vector.<NetworkInterface>`
`public function set subInterfaces(value:Vector.<NetworkInterface>):void`
