Description

The New-NetworkControllerServerInterface cmdlet creates a physical network interface resource or updates an existing physical network interface resource in the Network Controller. Before you can create an interface resource, there must be a server resource to which it belongs. For more information, see the New-NetworkControllerServer cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Create a server interface

PS C:\> $InterfaceIPConfig = New-Object Microsoft.Windows.NetworkController.InterfaceIPConfiguration
PS C:\> $InterfaceIPConfig.IpAddress = "10.0.0.1"
PS C:\> $InterfaceIPConfig.NetworkPrefix = "24"
PS C:\> $InterfaceIPConfig.DefaultGateway = "10.0.0.100"
PS C:\> $InterfaceIPConfig.VLAN = "1"
PS C:\> $InterfaceIPConfig.IsDhcpEnabled = "False"
PS C:\> $NwInterfaceProp = New-Object Microsoft.Windows.NetworkController.NwInterfaceProperties
PS C:\> $NwInterfaceProp.IPConfiguration = @($InterfaceIPConfig)
PS C:\> $NwInterfaceProp.InterfaceIndex = "2"
PS C:\> $NwInterfaceProp.InterfaceName = "Corp"
PS C:\> $NwInterfaceProp.Mac = "00:11:22:33:44:AA"
PS C:\> New-NetworkControllerServerInterface -ConnectionUri "https://networkcontroller" -ServerId "Server01" -ResourceId "Interface01" -Properties $NwInterfaceProp

The first command creates an InterfaceIPConfiguration by using the New-Object cmdlet. The command stores the object in the $InterfaceIPConfig variable.

The next five commands assign values to properties of $InterfaceIPConfig.

The seventh command creates an NwInterfaceProperties object by using New-Object. The command stores the object in the $NwInterfaceProp variable.

The next four commands assign values to properties of $NwInterfaceProp. This includes the value of $InterfaceIPConfig for the IPConfiguration property.

The final command creates a server interface that has the resource ID Interface01. The interface is on a server that has the resource ID Server01. The URI identifies the Network Controller. The $NwInterfaceProp variable specifies the properties of the interface.

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
Required:False
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
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-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
Required:True
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
Required:False
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:6
Default value:None
Required:False
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
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PassInnerException

This thumbprint must also be provided in the ClientCertificateThumbprint parameter in the Install-NetworkController or Set-NetworkController cmdlet so that Network Controller can authorize this user.

The thumbprint must be provided only if the network controller client authentication is X509 certificates. Get-NetworkController retrieves that client authentication and authorization information.

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

-Properties

Specifies properties of a server interface that this cmdlet adds or updates. You can specify the following properties:

  • Interface index.
  • Interface name.
  • Interface speed.
  • IP configuration of the interface. The configuration contains an IP address, network prefix, default gateway, VLANs, and whether the IP address has been obtained over DHCP.
  • Logical subnets to which the network interface is connected.
  • MAC address.
  • VLAN IDs of networks to which the interface is connected.
  • Whether this interface is a baseboard management controller (BMC) interface.
Type:NwInterfaceProperties
Position:3
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True

-ResourceId

Specifies the resource ID of the server interface that this cmdlet adds or updates.

Type:String
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ResourceMetadata

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

Type:ResourceMetadata
Position:4
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ServerId

Specifies the server to which the interface belongs.

Type:String
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

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

Type:SwitchParameter
