NAME Add-NetNatExternalAddress



SYNOPSIS

Adds an external address to a NAT instance.





SYNTAX

Add-NetNatExternalAddress [-NatName] <String> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-PortEnd <UInt16>] [-PortStart <UInt16>] [-ThrottleLimit

<Int32>] -IPAddress <String> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Add-NetNatExternalAddress cmdlet adds an external address to a network address translation (NAT) instance.





PARAMETERS

-AsJob [<SwitchParameter>]

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the

session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell???? background jobs, see about_Jobs.

or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-PortEnd <UInt16>
