Get-NetworkControllerDiscoveredTopology
Get-NetworkControllerDiscoveredTopology
Gets the discovered topology of the network.
Syntax
Parameter Set: Default
Get-NetworkControllerDiscoveredTopology [-CertificateThumbprint <String> ] [-ConnectionUri <String> ] [-Credential <PSCredential> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Get-NetworkControllerDiscoveredTopology cmdlet gets the discovered topology of the network. Use the network controller to discover network topology by using the Invoke-NetworkControllerTopologyDiscovery cmdlet.
A discovered topology consists of topology nodes, termination points on topology nodes, and links between termination points. A topology node is a device on the network, such as a network switch, a router, or a server. A termination point is an interface on a topology node, such as a server physical interface or a switch port. Each link joins two termination points. Links between termination points depict the topology of the network.
Parameters
-CertificateThumbprint<String>
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.

Examples
Example 1: Get network topology
This command gets the discovered network topology from the specified network controller.
PS C:\> Get-NetworkControllerDiscoveredTopology -ConnectionUri "https://restserver"
Example 2: View topology properties
The first command gets the discovered network topology from the specified network controller, and then stores it in the $Topology variable.
The second command displays the Properties property of $Topology.
PS C:\> $Topology = Get-NetworkControllerDiscoveredTopology -ConnectionUri "https://restserver"
PS C:\> $Topology.Properties
Example 3: Display properties of a topology node
The first command gets the discovered network topology from the specified network controller, and then stores it in the $Topology variable.
The second command displays the properties of the first topology node in the discovered topology. This node is a switch and the name of the node is DC. The command displays the resource ID of the termination points.
PS C:\> $Topology = Get-NetworkControllerDiscoveredTopology -ConnectionUri "https://restserver"
PS C:\> $Topology.Properties.TopologyNodes[0].Properties
