[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Set-NetIPv4Protocol cmdlet modifies the global IPv4 protocol configuration for a computer. If you do not specify any parameters for the cmdlet, the cmdlet sets the default values for the global IPv6 protocol configuration.
Examples
Example 1: Enable the DHCP Media Sense event log
PS C:\>Set-NetIPv4Protocol -MediaSenseEventLog EnabledThis command enables the DHCP Media Sense event log.
Example 2: Increase the number of neighbors
PS C:\>Set-NetIPv4Protocol -NeighborCacheLimitEntries 1000This command increases the size of the cache of on-link neighbors on the subnet that are no longer referenced to 1,000. The default value is 256.
Parameters
-AddressMaskReply
Specifies a value for address mask reply. The cmdlet modifies the value for this setting. Address mask reply specifies how the computer responds to ICMP address mask packets. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-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.
| Type: | CimSession[] |
| Aliases: | Session |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DeadGatewayDetection
Specifies an array of values for dead gateway detection. The cmdlet gets IPv4 protocol configurations that have these values. Dead gateway detection is a feature that identifies gateways that are not operating properly and switches the computer to a new default gateway if available. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Enabled
- Disabled
| Type: | DeadGatewayDetection |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DefaultHopLimit
Specifies a value for the default hop limit. The cmdlet modifies the value for this setting. This parameter sets the default value for the CurrentHopLimit property in the IP interface. The current hop limit is the value that the IP interface writes in the hop limit field in all outbound IPv4 traffic. When routers forward a packet, they decrement the hop limit by 1 and discard the packet when the hop limit is 0. The default value is 128.
| Type: | UInt32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DhcpMediaSense
Specifies a value for Media Sense. The cmdlet modifies the value for this setting.
Media Sense provides a mechanism for the network adapter to notify the protocol stack of media connect and disconnect events. These events trigger the DHCP client to take an action, such as attempting to renew a DHCP lease or removing routes that are related to a disconnected network. When Media Sense is enabled, the network parameters on the laptop of a roaming user are automatically and transparently updated without requiring a restart when the user moves from one location to another. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Enabled
- Disabled
The default value is Enabled.
| Type: | DhcpMediaSense |

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |

Specifies a value for group forwarded fragments. The cmdlet modifies the value for this setting. Group forwarded fragments specifies whether the IP interface collects fragments into groups before it forwards the fragments. This parameter sets the GroupForwardedFragments property in the IP interface. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Enabled. The IP interface collects IPv6 protocol fragments into groups before it forwards the fragments.
- Disabled. The IP interface does not collect IPv6 protocol fragments into groups before it forwards the fragments.
The default value is Disabled.
| Type: | GroupForwardedFragments |

The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Enabled. The IP interface updates the path cache in response to ICMP redirect packets.
- Disabled. The IP interface does not update the path cache in response to ICMP redirect packets.
The default value is Enabled.
