NAME Set-VMHostFirewallDefaultPolicy
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet sets the default policy for the specified host firewall.
SYNTAX
Set-VMHostFirewallDefaultPolicy [[-AllowIncoming] <Boolean>] [[-AllowOutgoing] <Boolean>] [-Policy]
<VMHostFirewallDefaultPolicy[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet sets the default policy for the specified host firewall. This policy specifies whether outgoing or
incoming connections are allowed. At least one of the AllowIncoming and AllowOutgoing parameters must be set. When
you configure the default firewall policy of an ESX/ESXi host version 5.0, you must provide the same value for the
AllowIncoming and AllowOutgoing parameters.
PARAMETERS
-AllowIncoming <Boolean>
If the value of this parameter is $true, all incoming connections are allowed. If the value is $false, all
incoming connections are disallowed.
Required? false
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-AllowOutgoing <Boolean>
If the value of this parameter is $true, all outcoming connections are allowed. If the value is $false, all
outcoming connections are disallowed.
Required? false
Position? 2
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Policy <VMHostFirewallDefaultPolicy[]>
Specifies the host firewall default policy you want to apply.
Required? true
Position? 3
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false,
the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value $true
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are
modified.
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 (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
OUTPUTS
Zero or more VMHostFirewallDefaultPolicy objects
NOTES
Firewall management functionality is not supported on ESX 3i.
