NAME Get-SmbBandwidthLimit



SYNOPSIS

Gets the list of SMB bandwidth caps for each traffic category.





SYNTAX

Get-SmbBandwidthLimit [[-Category] <BandwidthLimitCategory[]>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Get-SmbBandwidthLimit cmdlet gets the list of Server Message Block (SMB) bandwidth caps for each traffic category. SMB bandwidth caps limit the

amount of data that the server can send for each traffic category.







PARAMETERS

-Category [<BandwidthLimitCategory[]>]

Specifies an array of categories of SMB bandwidth limits to get. The acceptable values for this parameter are:



-- Default

-- VirtualMachine

-- LiveMigration



Required? false

Position? 2

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

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



-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

NOTES





Before you can use this cmdlet, you must enable the feature by using the following command:

Install-WindowsFeature -Name FS-SMBBW

For more information, type Get-Help Install-WindowsFeature. When you enable the feature, the SMB server creates a new SMB performance counter set

that has an instance per category. The performance counters in this set use the same counters as the SMB Client Shares performance counters.



Example 1: Get SMB bandwidth caps for all categories



PS C:\\> Get-SmbBandwidthLimit



This command gets the SMB bandwidth caps for all traffic categories.





Example 2: Get SMB bandwidth caps for a category



PS C:\\> Get-SmbBandWidthLimit -Category LiveMigration



This command gets the SMB bandwidth cap for Live Migration traffic.
