Stop-NlbCluster

Stop-NlbCluster

Stops all nodes of a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster.

Syntax

Parameter Set: NonPipeline
Stop-NlbCluster [[-HostName] <String> ] [[-InterfaceName] <String> ] [-Drain] [-Timeout <Nullable> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: Pipeline
Stop-NlbCluster -InputObject <Cluster> [-Drain] [-Timeout <Nullable> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Stop-NlbCluster cmdlet stops all nodes in a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster. The cmdlet will stop the NLB service on the host and all existing connections will be lost. To avoid interrupting active connections, use the Drain parameter which allows the host to continue servicing active connections, but disables all new traffic to that host.

Parameters

-Drain

Drains existing traffic before stopping the cluster. If this parameter is omitted, then the existing traffic will be dropped.
