The Enable-NetAdapterSriov cmdlet enables Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) on the network adapter. SR-IOV enables network traffic to
by-pass the software switch layer of the Hyper-V virtualization stack. As a result, the I/O overhead in the software emulation layer is
diminished and can achieve network performance that is nearly the same performance as in non-virtualized environments. SR-IOV can only be used
if enabled on the network adapter.

EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\>Enable-NetAdapterSriov -Name "Ethernet 1"
This example enables SR-IOV for the network adapter named Ethernet 1 and restarts the network adapter.
EXAMPLE 2
PS C:\>Enable-NetAdapterSriov -InterfaceDescription "Contoso 12345 Gigabit Network Device"
This example enables SR-IOV for the network adapter with the description Contoso 12345 Gigabit Network Device and restarts the network adapter.
EXAMPLE 3
PS C:\>$netAdapter = Get-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet 2"
PS C:\>Enable-NetAdapterSriov –InputObject $netAdapter
This is a version of the cmdlet that selects the network adapter and pipes the network adapter object into this cmdlet.
PS C:\>Get-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet 2" | Enable-NetAdapterSriov
This example inputs the network adapter object into this cmdlet.
