Set-SCVirtualNetwork
Changes the properties of a virtual network configured on a host managed by VMM.
Syntax
Parameter Set: Host
Set-SCVirtualNetwork [-VirtualNetwork] <VirtualNetwork> [-BoundToVMHost <Boolean> ] [-Description <String> ] [-HostBoundVLanId <UInt16> ] [-JobGroup <Guid> ] [-JobVariable <String> ] [-Name <String> ] [-PROTipID <Guid> ] [-RunAsynchronously] [ <CommonParameters>]
Parameter Set: Cluster
Set-SCVirtualNetwork [-ClusterVirtualNetwork] <ClusterVirtualNetwork> [-BoundToVMHost <Boolean> ] [-Description <String> ] [-HostBoundVLanId <UInt16> ] [-JobGroup <Guid> ] [-JobVariable <String> ] [-Name <String> ] [-PROTipID <Guid> ] [-RunAsynchronously] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Set-SCVirtualNetwork cmdlet changes the properties of a virtual network configured on a host managed by System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
Virtual network properties that you can change include:
- ANY HOST - For a virtual network configured for virtual machines
deployed on any host supported by VMM (a Hyper-V, VMware ESX,
or Citrix XenServer host), you can set or modify the name or
description.
- HYPER-V HOST ONLY - If the host is a Hyper-V host, you can also
configure whether virtual machines are bound to the host (and can
thus access the host operating system), and you can specify a
numerical identifier for a virtual local area network (VLAN) on the
host.

Parameters
-BoundToVMHost<Boolean>
Indicates whether a virtual network is bound to a host. Binding a virtual network to a host enables network communication to the host.

- VirtualNetwork
Examples
1: Unbind a virtual network from a host.
The first command gets the host object named VMHost01 and stores the object in the $VMHost variable.
The second command gets the virtual network object named InternalVNet01 from VMHost01 and stores the object in the $VirtualNetwork variable.
The last command renames the virtual network to "UnboundVNet01" and sets -VMHostBound to FALSE. This unbinds the virtual network from the host, which prevents any virtual machines that are attached to this virtual network from accessing the host through this network.
PS C:\> $VMHost = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> $VirtualNetwork = Get-SCVirtualNetwork -VMHost $VMHost -Name "InternalVNet01"
PS C:\> Set-SCVirtualNetwork -VirtualNetwork $VirtualNetwork -Name "UnboundVNet01" -BoundToVMHost $False
