Description

The New-NetworkControllerLogicalNetwork cmdlet adds a logical network to the Network Controller, or updates an existing logical network. A logical network represents a logical partition of a physical network that is dedicated for a particular purpose. A logical network is a collection of logical subnets.

Examples

Example 1: Create a logical network that has network virtualization disabled

PS C:\> $NetworkProperties = New-Object Microsoft.Windows.NetworkController.LogicalNetworkProperties
PS C:\> $NetworkProperties.NetworkVirtualizationEnabled = $False
PS C:\> New-NetworkControllerLogicalNetwork -ConnectionUri "https://networkcontroller" -ResourceId "Network13" -Properties $NetworkProperties

The first command creates a LogicalNetworkProperties object by using the New-Object cmdlet. The command stores the object in the $NetworkProperties variable.

The second command assigns a value of $False to the NetworkVirtualizationEnabled property of $NetworkProperties.

The final command creates a logical network that has the resource ID logicalnw1 in the Network Controller. Because $NetworkProperties has a value of $False for NetworkVirtualizationEnabled , network virtualization is disabled in this network.

Required Parameters

-ConnectionUri

Specifies the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the Network Controller. All Representational State Transfer (REST) clients use this URI to connect to Network Controller.

Type: Uri
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Properties

Specifies properties of a logical network that can be added or updated. You can update the list of subnets this is contained in the logical network and whether network virtualization is enabled for the logical network.

Type: LogicalNetworkProperties
Position: 3
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ResourceId

Specifies the ID of the logical network that this cmdlet adds to the Network Controller.

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

Optional Parameters

-CertificateThumbprint

Specifies the certificate thumbprint of a digital public key X.509 certificate of a user account that has permission to perform this action. In order for Network Controller to authorize the account, specify this thumbprint by using the ClientCertificateThumbprint parameter of the Install-NetworkController or Set-NetworkController cmdlet.

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
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Credential

Specifies a user credential that has permission to perform this action. The default value is the current user. This user must be present in the security group specified in the ClientSecurityGroup parameter in Install-NetworkController .

Type: PSCredential
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Etag

Specifies the entity tag (ETag) parameter of the resource. An ETag is an HTTP response header returned by an HTTP-compliant web server. An ETag is used to determine change in the content of a resource. The value of the header is an opaque string that represents the state of the resource when the response was generated.

Type: String
Position: 5
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Force

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: 7
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-PassInnerException
Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ResourceMetadata

Specifies metadata information for the client, such as the tenant ID, group ID, and resource name.

Type: ResourceMetadata
Position: 6
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Tags
Type: PSObject
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: wi
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Inputs

LogicalNetworkProperties

This cmdlet accepts a LogicalNetworkProperties object that can contain the following properties:

  • The subnets for the logical network
  • Whether network virtualization is enabled for the logical network.
