This topic describes the cmdlet in the .6.19 version of the Windows Azure PowerShell module. To find out the version of the module you're using, from the Windows Azure PowerShell console, type (get-module azure).version.

The Add-AzureEndpoint cmdlet adds a new input endpoint to a virtual machine. You can specify a new endpoint that is not load balanced, which will be used only by this virtual machine, or you can specify a load-balanced endpoint, which other virtual machines running in the same cloud service can share to load-balance traffic.

When adding a load-balanced endpoint, you can also specify parameters for an endpoint probe. The probe will be used to check the health of endpoints and endpoint resources, probing for response every 15 seconds, and taking a resource out of rotation if no response is received within 31 seconds.

-ACL<NetworkAclObject>

Specifies an access control list (ACL) to apply to the endpoint.

<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.

Outputs

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

Example 1

This command retrieves the configuration of a virtual machine and adds a new endpoint named "HttpIn" configured with public port 80 and local port 8080. The changed configuration is passed through the pipeline to Update-AzureVM to update the virtual machine.

C:\PS>Get-AzureVM -ServiceName "mySvc" -Name "MyVM1" | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "HttpIn" -Protocol "tcp" -PublicPort 80 -LocalPort 8080 | Update-AzureVM

Example 2

This command retrieves the configuration of a virtual machine and adds a new endpoint named "HttpIn" configured with public port 80 and local port 8080. The endpoint belongs to the shared load-balanced group named "WebFarm" and its availability is monitored by an HTTP probe on port 80, path '/'. The changed configuration is pass through the pipeline to Update-AzureVM to update the virtual machine.

C:\PS>Get-AzureVM -ServiceName "myLBSvc" -Name "MyVM2" | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "HttpIn" -Protocol "http" -PublicPort 80 -LocalPort 8080 -LBSetName "WebFarm" -ProbePort 80 -ProbeProtocol "http" -ProbePath '/' | Update-AzureVM
