DESCRIPTION

The Enable-NetAdapterQos cmdlet enables quality of service (QoS) on a network adapter. The QoS features, which

include traffic class bandwidth allocation and priority based flow control, are specified in the IEEE data center bridging (DCB) standard. When QoS is enabled and the computer is configured to not accept configurations from a

remote device, the computer sends the network adapter the user-generated configurations for the QoS features. For

more information about the configuring the computer not to accept configurations from a remote device, see the

Set-NetQosDcbxSetting cmdlet. Otherwise, the network adapter enables the QoS features based on either the factory

default configurations or what it receives from the remote device. To configure traffic class bandwidth allocation and priority based flow control on the computer, you can use the

New-NetQosTrafficClass and the Enable-NetQosFlowControl cmdlets.

Some switches expect end stations, such as computers running Windows Serverr 2012 or later, to accept configurations from the switches. If the switches detect a mismatched configuration through the data center bridging exchange (DCBX) protocol, then the switches disable the DCB functionalities. To overcome this limitation, users can disable DCBX on either the switches or the network adapters and manually configure the features on either end.

PARAMETERS

-AsJob []

ps_cimcommon_asjob Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such

as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local

computer. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-IncludeHidden []

Indicates that the cmdlet includes both visible and hidden network adapters in the operation. By default only visible network adapters are included. If a wildcard character is used in identifying a network adapter and this parameter has been specified, then the wildcard string is matched against both hidden and visible network adapters. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-InputObject

Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet. Required? true Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? true (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-InterfaceDescription

Specifies an array of network adapter interface descriptions. For a physical network adapter this is typically the name of the vendor of the network adapter followed by a part number and description, such as Contoso 12345 Gigabit Network Device. Required? true Position? named Default value

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? true

-Name

Specifies an array of network adapter names. Required? true Position? 1 Default value

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? true

-NoRestart []

Indicates that the cmdlet does not restart the network adapter after completing the operation. Many advanced properties require restarting the network adapter before the new settings take effect. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-PassThru []

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-ThrottleLimit

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 PowerShellr 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. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-Confirm []

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet. Required? false Position? named Default value false Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-WhatIf []

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run. Required? false Position? named Default value false Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable.

INPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetAdapterQosSettingData[] 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.

The input object is a list of network adapter objects, such as output from the Get-NetAdapter cmdlet.

OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetAdapterQosSettingData 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. The output object contains QoS capabilities and configurations on a network adapter. The output object is returned only when the PassThru parameter is specified.

Example 1: Enable QoS on the specified network adapter

PS C:\>Enable-NetAdapterQos -Name "DCBNIC1"

This command enables QoS on a network adapter named DCBNIC1 and restarts the network adapter.

Example 2: Enable QoS on all network adapters that support QoS

This command gets all network adapters that support QoS, enables QoS on all of them, and restarts the network adapter.

PS C:\> $NetAdapter1 = Get-NetAdapterQos -Name "*"

PS C:\> Enable-NetAdapterQos -InputObject $NetAdapter1

This command is a version of the cmdlet that gets all network adapters that support QoS and enables QoS on all of them via the pipeline, then restarts the network adapter.
