NOTES









-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------



Get-VDPort -VDSwitch "MyVDSwitch" -ActiveOnly | Get-VDBlockedPolicy | Set-VDBlockedPolicy -Blocked



Retrieves all active distributed ports and updates their blocking policy to stop packet forwarding through them.

-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------



Get-VDportgroup "MyVDPortgroup" | Get-VDPort | Get-VDBlockedPolicy | Set-VDBlockedPolicy -BlockedInherited



Retrieves the specified "MyVDPortgroup" distributed port group and updates the blocking policy of all ports inside

the group to inherit the setting for packet forwarding from the one set on the distributed port group level.
