Detailed Description

The Set-NetAdapterChecksumOffload cmdlet sets the state of the checksum offload properties. The network adapter computes the checksums, therefore reducing processor utilization because the processor is not performing this computation. This cmdlet sets the various checksum offload settings, including IPv4, TCPv4, TCPv6, UDPv4, and UDPv6. This cmdlet enables a few types of checksums while disabling others. If only setting the enabled state, run the Enable-NetAdapterChecksumOffload or Disable-NetAdapterChecksumOffload cmdlet.

-IpIPv4Enabled<Direction>

Specifies the direction of the IP traffic for IPv4. The acceptable values for this parameter are: Disabled, RxTxEnabled, RxEnabled, or TxEnabled. If RxEnabled or TxEnabled is selected, then the opposite direction (transmit or receive, respectively) is disabled. Such as if the state is RxEnabled, then checksum calculations for receive traffic is enabled and for transmit traffic is Disabled.

-TcpIPv4Enabled<Direction>

Specifies the direction of the TCP traffic for IPv4. The acceptable values for this parameter are: Disabled, RxTxEnabled, RxEnabled, or TxEnabled. If RxEnabled or TxEnabled is selected, then the opposite direction (transmit or receive, respectively) is disabled. Such as if the state is RxEnabled, then checksum calculations for receive traffic is enabled and for transmit traffic is Disabled.

-TcpIPv6Enabled<Direction>

Specifies the direction of the TCP traffic for IPv6. The acceptable values for this parameter are: Disabled, RxTxEnabled, RxEnabled, or TxEnabled. If RxEnabled or TxEnabled is selected, then the opposite direction (transmit or receive, respectively) is disabled. Such as if the state is RxEnabled, then checksum calculations for receive traffic is enabled and for transmit traffic is Disabled.

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

If RxEnabled or TxEnabled is selected, then the opposite direction (transmit or receive, respectively) is disabled. Such as if the state is RxEnabled, then checksum calculations for receive traffic is enabled and for transmit traffic is Disabled.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

  • Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetAdapter ChecksumOffloadSettingData[]

    The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

  • Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetAdapter ChecksumOffloadSettingData[]

    The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
