Get-NetworkControllerDesiredStateTopologyLink
Get-NetworkControllerDesiredStateTopologyLink
Gets links in the desired state topology.
Syntax
Parameter Set: Default
Get-NetworkControllerDesiredStateTopologyLink [[-ResourceId] <String[]> ] -ConnectionUri <String> [-CertificateThumbprint <String> ] [-Credential <PSCredential> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Get-NetworkControllerDesiredStateTopologyLink cmdlet gets links in the desired state topology. Specify resource IDs to obtain particular links.
You provide the desired state topology to the Network Controller. It represents the expected topology of the network.
A desired state 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.

Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
Examples
Example 1: Get all links
The first command retrieves the topology links for the specified network controller, and then store the results in the $Link variable.
The second command displays the contents of $Link. In this example, there is only one link.
PS C:\> $Link=Get-NetworkControllerDesiredStateTopologyLink -ConnectionUri 'https://restserver'
PS C:\> $Link
Example 2: Display properties of a link
The first command retrieves the topology links for the specified network controller, and then store the results in the $Link variable.
The second command displays Properties property of $Link, which shows that the link is a regular link and displays the two termination points.
PS C:\> $Link = Get-NetworkControllerDesiredStateTopologyLink -ConnectionUri "https://restserver"
PS C:\> $Link.Properties
Example 3: Display a termination point of a link
The first command retrieves a topology link in the desired topology that has the specified resource ID, and the stores it in the $Link variable.
The second command displays Properties.Terminationpoint1 property of $Link, which shows the resource details of one of the termination points.
PS C:\> $Link = Get-NetworkControllerDiscoveredTopologyLink -ConnectionUri "https://restserver" -ResourceId "64d60cf0-b78d-42b9-8cc8-6d5e4ff8f117"
PS C:\> $Link.Properties.terminationPoint1
