[<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Set-NetNeighbor cmdlet modifies a neighbor cache entry. The neighbor cache maintains information for each on-link neighbor, including the IP

address and the associated link-layer address. You can modify only neighbor cache entries that are in a permanent state on interfaces that have

link-layer addresses. Use this cmdlet to modify the link-layer address and policy store setting of a neighbor cache entry.





PARAMETERS

-AddressFamily [<AddressFamily[]>]

Specifies an array of IP address families. The cmdlet modifies the neighbor cache entries that belong to the IP address families you specify.

If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet automatically generates the address families of the neighbor cache entries. The acceptable

values for this parameter are:



-- IPv4

-- IPv6



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-CimSession [<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 none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-IncludeAllCompartments [<SwitchParameter>]

Indicates that the cmdlet includes neighbor cache entries from all configured network compartments. If you do not specify this parameter, the

cmdlet modifies only neighbor cache entries in the default network compartment.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-IPAddress [<String[]>]

Specifies an array of IP addresses. The cmdlet modifies neighbor cache entries that have the IP addresses you specify.



Required? false

Position? 1

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-LinkLayerAddress [<String>]

Specifies the link-layer address of the neighbor cache entry. The cmdlet modifies the link-layer address of the neighbor cache entry you

specify.



The link-layer address is also called the media access control (MAC) address. A link-layer address that uses IPv4 address syntax is a tunnel

technology that encapsulates packets over an IPv4 tunnel, such as Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) or Teredo. A

link-layer address of all zeroes indicates that the neighbor is unreachable and the neighbor cache entry does not have a link-layer address

entry. An empty link-layer address indicates that the link layer does not use link-layer addresses, such as on a loopback interface.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-InterfaceAlias [<String[]>]

Specifies an array of aliases of network interfaces. The cmdlet modifies neighbor cache entries for the network interfaces that have the

aliases you specify.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-InterfaceIndex [<UInt32[]>]

Specifies an array of indexes of network interfaces. The cmdlet modifies neighbor cache entries for the network interfaces located at the

indexes you specify.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

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 none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PolicyStore [<String>]

Specifies a PolicyStore value. The cmdlet modifies the PolicyStore setting for the neighbor cache entry to the value you specify. The

acceptable values for this parameter are:



-- ActiveStore: The IP address information is valid.

-- PersistentStore: The computer saves IP address information across restarts. When the computer restarts, it copies the saved settings to the

ActiveStore.



Specify ActiveStore only.



If you do not specify this parameter, the default entries are created in both the ActiveStore and the PersistentStore.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-State [<State[]>]

Specifies an array of states of the neighbor cache entry. The cmdlet modifies the neighbor cache entries that have the states you specify. You

can modify only neighbor cache entries that are in a permanent state. The acceptable values for this parameter are:



-- Permanent. The neighbor is statically provisioned and will not expire unless you remove it.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]

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 PowerShell???? 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 none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]

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 [<SwitchParameter>]

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



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).



INPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\\StandardCimv2\\MSFT_NetNeighbor



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.





OUTPUTS

None









Example 1: Set the link-layer address for a neighbor cache entry



PS C:\\>Set-NetNeighbor ????????InterfaceIndex 12 ????????IPAddress "192.168.0.5" ????????LinkLayerAddress "00-00-12-00-00-ff"



This command sets the link-layer address for the neighbor cache entry that has the IP address 192.168.0.5 and the interface index value of 12.





Example 2: Set the link-layer address for a neighbor cache entry by using an input object



PS C:\\>Get-NetNeighbor ????????InterfaceIndex 12 ????????IPAddress "192.168.0.5" | Set-NetNeighbor ????????LinkLayerAddress "00-00-12-00-00-ff"



This command gets the NetNeighbor object that has the IP address 192.168.0.5 and the interface index value of 12. The command passes the object to

the Set-NetNeighbor cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. Set-NetNeighbor sets the link-layer address for the neighbor cache entry to

00-00-12-00-00-ff.
