New-NetworkControllerDesiredStateBulkTopologyLinks

Adds links in bulk to the desired state topology.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
New-NetworkControllerDesiredStateBulkTopologyLinks [-Properties] <DesiredStateBulkTopologyLinksProperties> [[-ResourceMetadata] <ResourceMetadata> ] [[-ResourceId] <String> ] [[-VersionId] <String> ] [[-Force]] -ConnectionUri <String> [-CertificateThumbprint <String> ] [-Credential <PSCredential> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The New-NetworkControllerDesiredStateBulkTopologyLinks cmdlet adds links in bulk to your desired state topology. You initially create the desired state topology. It represents the expected topology of the network.

For more information about desired state topology, see the Get-NetworkControllerDesiredStateTopology cmdlet.

This cmdlet adds topology links in bulk to the desired state topology. In the desired state topology, topology nodes and termination points are automatically created when you add corresponding fabric resources to the network controller. For example, if you add a server to the network controller, the desired state topology contains a topology node for the server. If you add a server interface, the topology then includes a termination point for the interface. You must add topology links manually. Add them one at a time, by using the New-NetworkControllerDesiredStateTopologyLink cmdlet, or add them in bulk by using the current cmdlet.

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.

-ConnectionUri<String>

Specifies the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the network controller that all Representational State Transfer (REST) clients use to connect to that controller.

-Credential<PSCredential>

Specifies a user credential that has permission to perform this action. The default value is the current user.

This user must be a member of in the security group specified by the ClientSecurityGroup parameter of the Install-NetworkController cmdlet.

-Properties<DesiredStateBulkTopologyLinksProperties>

Specifies the properties of the links that this cmdlet adds. You can specify the following properties for each link:

-- AggregateId. A system generated identifier that groups the links that are part of a single logical link, such as multiple physical links that form an aggregated link for uplink, which would share same AggregateId.
-- Label. A description of the link.
-- Type. The type of the link. Acceptable values for this property are Regular, Virtual, AggregateLink, and VLANTrunk.
-- TerminationPoint1. The interface for one end of the link.
-- TerminationPoint2. The interface for the other end of the link.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	2
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-ResourceId<String>

Specifies the resource ID of the link that this cmdlet adds.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	6
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false

-ResourceMetadata<ResourceMetadata>

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

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	5
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-VersionId<String>

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 at a given URL. The value of the header is an opaque string that represents the state of the resource at the time the response was generated.
