TestConnectionCommand()

Fields

Detailed

Gets or sets whether to enable detailed output mode while running a TCP connection test. Without this flag, the TCP test will return a boolean result.

Properties

AsJob
BufferSize

Gets or sets the buffer size to send with the ping packet. The default (from Windows) is 32 bytes. Max value is 65500 (limitation imposed by Windows API).

CommandOrigin

This property tells you if you were being invoked inside the runspace or if it was an external request.

(Inherited from InternalCommand)
CommandRuntime

Holds the command runtime object for this command. This object controls what actually happens when a write is called.

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
ComputerName

The following is the definition of the input parameter "ComputerName". Value of the address requested. The form of the value can be either the computer name ("wxyz1234"), IPv4 address ("192.168.177.124"), or IPv6 address ("2010:836B:4179::836B:4179").

Count

Gets or sets the number of ping attempts. The default (from Windows) is 4 times.

Credential

The following is the definition of the input parameter "Credential". Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. Type a user-name, such as "User01" or "Domain01\User01", or enter a PSCredential object, such as one from the Get-Credential cmdlet

CurrentPSTransaction

Gets an object that surfaces the current PowerShell transaction. When this object is disposed, PowerShell resets the active transaction.

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
DcomAuthentication

The following is the definition of the input parameter "DcomAuthentication". Specifies the authentication level to be used with WMI connection. Valid values are:

Unchanged = -1, Default = 0, None = 1, Connect = 2, Call = 3, Packet = 4, PacketIntegrity = 5, PacketPrivacy = 6.

Delay

Gets or sets the delay between ping attempts. The default (from Windows) is 1 second.

DontFragment

Gets or sets whether to prevent fragmentation of the ICMP packets. Currently CoreFX not supports this on Unix.

Events

Gets the event manager for the current runspace.

(Inherited from PSCmdlet)
Host

Gets the host interaction APIs.

(Inherited from PSCmdlet)
Impersonation

The following is the definition of the input parameter "Impersonation". Specifies the impersonation level to use when calling the WMI method. Valid values are:

Default = 0, Anonymous = 1, Identify = 2, Impersonate = 3, Delegate = 4.

InvokeCommand

Provides access to utility routines for executing scripts and creating script blocks.

(Inherited from PSCmdlet)
InvokeProvider

Gets the instance of the provider interface APIs for the current runspace.

(Inherited from PSCmdlet)
IPv4

Gets or sets whether to force use of IPv4 protocol.

IPv6

Gets or sets whether to force use of IPv6 protocol.

JobManager

Manager for JobSourceAdapters registered.

(Inherited from PSCmdlet)
JobRepository

Repository for jobs.

(Inherited from PSCmdlet)
MaxHops

Gets or sets the number of times the Ping data packets can be forwarded by routers. As gateways and routers transmit packets through a network, they decrement the Time-to-Live (TTL) value found in the packet header. The default (from Windows) is 128 hops.

MtuSize

Gets or sets whether to detect Maximum Transmission Unit size. When selected, only a single ping result is returned, indicating the maximum buffer size the route to the destination can support without fragmenting the ICMP packets.

MyInvocation

Contains information about the identity of this cmdlet and how it was invoked.

(Inherited from PSCmdlet)
PagingParameters

If the cmdlet declares paging support (via SupportsPaging), then PagingParameters property contains arguments of the paging parameters. Otherwise PagingParameters property is null.

(Inherited from PSCmdlet)
ParameterSetName

The name of the parameter set in effect.

(Inherited from PSCmdlet)
Ping

Gets or sets whether to do ping test. Default is true.

Protocol

Specify the protocol to use

Quiet

Gets or sets whether to enable quiet output mode, reducing output to a single simple value only. By default, PingStatus, PingMtuStatus, or TraceStatus objects are emitted. With this switch, standard ping and -Traceroute returns only true / false, and -MtuSize returns an integer.

Repeat

Gets or sets whether to continue pinging until user presses Ctrl-C (or Int.MaxValue threshold reached).

ResolveDestination

Gets or sets whether to do reverse DNS lookup to get names for IP addresses.

SessionState

Gets the instance of session state for the current runspace.

(Inherited from PSCmdlet)
Source

Gets the source from which to run the selected test. The default is localhost. Remoting is not yet implemented internally in the cmdlet.

Stopping

Is this command stopping?

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
TargetName

Gets or sets the destination hostname or IP address.

TcpPort

Gets or sets whether to perform a TCP connection test.

ThrottleLimit

The following is the definition of the input parameter "ThrottleLimit". The number of concurrent computers on which the command will be allowed to execute

TimeoutSeconds

Gets or sets the timeout value for an individual ping in seconds. If a response is not received in this time, no response is assumed. The default (from Windows) is 5 seconds.

TimeToLive

The following is the definition of the input parameter "TimeToLive". Life span of the packet in seconds. The value is treated as an upper limit. All routers must decrement this value by 1 (one). When this value becomes 0 (zero), the packet is dropped by the router. The default value is 80 seconds. The hops between routers rarely take this amount of time.

Traceroute

Gets or sets whether to perform a traceroute test.

WsmanAuthentication

The authentication options for CIM_WSMan connection

Methods

BeginProcessing()

BeginProcessing implementation for TestConnectionCommand. Sets Count for different types of tests unless specified explicitly.

Dispose()

IDisposable implementation, dispose of any disposable resources created by the cmdlet.

Dispose(Boolean)

Implementation of IDisposable for both manual Dispose() and finalizer-called disposal of resources.

EndProcessing()

When overridden in the derived class, performs clean-up after the command execution. Default implementation in the base class just returns.

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
Finalize()

Finalizes an instance of the TestConnectionCommand class.

GetResolvedProviderPathFromPSPath(String, ProviderInfo) (Inherited from PSCmdlet)
GetResourceString(String, String)

ShouldContinue(String, String)

Confirm an operation or grouping of operations with the user. This differs from ShouldProcess in that it is not affected by preference settings or command-line parameters, it always does the query. This variant only offers Yes/No, not YesToAll/NoToAll.

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
ShouldContinue(String, String, Boolean, Boolean)

Confirm an operation or grouping of operations with the user. This differs from ShouldProcess in that it is not affected by preference settings or command-line parameters, it always does the query. This variant offers Yes, No, YesToAll and NoToAll.

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
ShouldContinue(String, String, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean)

Confirm an operation or grouping of operations with the user. This differs from ShouldProcess in that it is not affected by preference settings or command-line parameters, it always does the query. This variant offers Yes, No, YesToAll and NoToAll.

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
ShouldProcess(String)

Confirm the operation with the user. Cmdlets which make changes (e.g. delete files, stop services etc.) should call ShouldProcess to give the user the opportunity to confirm that the operation should actually be performed.

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
ShouldProcess(String, String)

Confirm the operation with the user. Cmdlets which make changes (e.g. delete files, stop services etc.) should call ShouldProcess to give the user the opportunity to confirm that the operation should actually be performed.

This variant allows the caller to specify text for both the target resource and the action.

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
ShouldProcess(String, String, String)

Confirm the operation with the user. Cmdlets which make changes (e.g. delete files, stop services etc.) should call ShouldProcess to give the user the opportunity to confirm that the operation should actually be performed.

This variant allows the caller to specify the complete text describing the operation, rather than just the name and action.

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
ShouldProcess(String, String, String, ShouldProcessReason)

Confirm the operation with the user. Cmdlets which make changes (e.g. delete files, stop services etc.) should call ShouldProcess to give the user the opportunity to confirm that the operation should actually be performed.

This variant allows the caller to specify the complete text describing the operation, rather than just the name and action.

(Inherited from Cmdlet)
StopProcessing()

On receiving the StopProcessing() request, the cmdlet will immediately cancel any in-progress ping request. This allows a cancellation to occur during a ping request without having to wait for the timeout.
