Examples


Example 1: Set a port to trunk mode

PS C:\>$Session = New-CimSession -ComputerName "NetworkSwitch08"
PS C:\> Set-NetworkSwitchPortMode -CimSession $Session -TrunkMode -VlanIDs 2,17,22



The first command creates a CimSession for a network switch, and then stores it in the $Session variable. For more information about CimSession objects, type Get-Help
New-CimSession.

The second command sets NetworkSwitch08 to use trunk mode by using the $Session object. The command specifies IDs for three VLANs.






Example 2: Set a port to route mode

PS C:\>Set-NetworkSwitchPortMode -CimSession $Session -IpAddress "10.14.1.1" -RouteMode -SubnetAddress "255.255.0.0"



This command sets the port to route mode. The command specifies its IP address and the subnet mask. The command includes a CimSession, similar to the first example.
