Detailed Description

The Enable-NetAdapterLso cmdlet enables the state of the large send offload (LSO) settings, such as LSOv4 and LSOv6, on the network adapter. If neither LSOv4 or LSOv6 is specified, then both LSOv4 and LSOv6 are enabled. LSO is a technology in which the work of segmenting data into network frames is performed by the network adapter instead of by the TCP/IP stack. With LSO, TCP/IP sends very large data packets down to the network adapter driver and the network adapter hardware. The network adapter separates the data into smaller network-sized frames. This increases the speed of high-end send operations and decreases the processor usage of the computer, because the work is performed on the network adapter. To enable just LSOv4 or LSOv6, run the Set-NetAdapterLso cmdlet.

Parameters

-AsJob

Aliases	none
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.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-IncludeHidden

Specifies both visible and hidden network adapters should be included. By default only visible network adapters are included. If a wildcard character is used in identifying a network adapter and this parameter has been specified, then the wildcard string is matched against both hidden and visible network adapters.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-InputObject<CimInstance[]>

Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByValue)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-InterfaceDescription<String[]>

Specifies the network adapter interface description. For a physical network adapter this is typically the name of the vendor of the network adapter followed by a part number and description, such as Contoso 12345 Gigabit Network Device.

Aliases	ifDesc
Required?	true
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	true

-IPv4

Specifies that this cmdlet affects IPv4 traffic.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-IPv6

Specifies that this cmdlet affects IPv6 traffic.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-Name<String[]>

Specifies the name of the network adapter.

Aliases	ifAlias, InterfaceAlias
Required?	true
Position?	1
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	true

-NoRestart

Specifies that the network adapter is not restarted as part of running this cmdlet. Note: Many advanced properties require restarting the network adapter before the new settings take effect.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Aliases	none
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.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	false
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-WhatIf

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, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetAdapterLsoSettingData[]

  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

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetAdapterLsoSettingData

  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.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example enables LSO for both IPv4 and IPv6 on all visible network adapters and restarts the network adapters.

PS C:\> Enable-NetAdapterLso –Name *

EXAMPLE 2

This example enables LSO for both IPv4 and IPv6 on all visible network adapters by explicitly specifying the parameters and then restarts the network adapters.

PS C:\> Enable-NetAdapterLso –Name * -IPv4 -IPv6
