Description

The Add-VMSwitchExtensionPortFeature cmdlet adds a feature supported by a virtual switch extension to a virtual machine network adapter. This cmdlet also configures built-in virtual switch features.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> $feature = Get-VMSystemSwitchExtensionPortFeature -FeatureName "Ethernet Switch Port Security Settings"
PS C:\> $feature.SettingData.EnableDhcpGuard = $true
PS C:\> $feature.SettingData.EnableRouterGuard = $true
PS C:\> Add-VMSwitchExtensionPortFeature -VMName VM2 -VMSwitchExtensionFeature $feature

Adds a feature to virtual machine VM2. The feature here is a port security feature supported by the extension Microsoft Virtual Ethernet Switch Native Extension.

Required Parameters

-ExternalPort

Specifies the virtual switch port connected to the external network adapter.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ManagementOS

Specifies that the feature is to be added in the management (i.e. the parent, or host) operating system.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-VM

Specifies the virtual machine in which the feature is to be added.

Type:	VirtualMachine[]
Position:	0
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-VMName

Specifies the name of the virtual machine in which the feature is to be added.

Type:	String[]
Position:	0
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-VMNetworkAdapter

Specifies the virtual machine network adapter for which the feature is to be added.

Type:	VMNetworkAdapterBase[]
Position:	0
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-VMSwitchExtensionFeature

Specifies the feature to be added to the virtual switch. You can get such a feature object from Get-VMSystemSwitchExtensionPortFeature to add a new configuration to a virtual network adapter, or from the Get-VMSwitchExtensionPortFeature cmdlet to update an existing configuration.

Type:	VMSwitchExtensionPortFeature[]
Position:	Named

Optional Parameters

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:	CimSession[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ComputerName

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which a feature is to be added to a virtual network adapter. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	cf

Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-SwitchName

Specifies the name of the virtual switch.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
