<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.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#VpnConnection
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.
The VpnConnection object contains the VpnConnection configuration settings.
Examples
Example 1: Configure a single VPN connection
This command configures the VPN connection named Test1 to connect to the server with an IP address of 10.1.1.2. By specifying the Passthru parameter, you can see the configuration of the VPN connection object.
PS C:\> Set-VpnConnection -Name "Test1" -ServerAddress "10.1.1.2" -PassThru
Example 2:
This command configures the VPN connection named Test3 and located in the global phone book as follows:
-- The connection is configured to use L2tp as the tunnel type, as specified by the TunnelType parameter
-- The tunnel is using optional encryption, as specified by the EncryptionLevel parameter
-- The authentication method used by the connection is PAP, as specified by the AuthenticationMethod parameter
-- Split tunneling is turned off, as specified by the SplitTunneling parameter, and the value of $false
-- Credential caching is turned off, as specified by the RememberCredential parameter and the value of $false
By specifying the Passthru parameter, you can see the configuration of the VPN connection object.
PS C:\> Set-VpnConnection -Name "Test3" -AllUserConnection -TunnelType L2tp -EncryptionLevel Optional -AuthenticationMethod Pap -SplitTunneling:$false -RememberCredential:$false -PassThru
Example 3: Configure a VPN connection to use a custom EAP configuration
This set of commands first creates a custom EAP configuration, and then configures a VPN connection from the global phone book to use the new custom EAP configuration.
For more information about custom EAP creation, see the New-EapConfiguration cmdlet.
This command stores the result of the New-EapConfiguration cmdlet into the variable named $a.
PS C:\> $a = New-EapConfiguration -Tls
This command configures the VPN connection named Test4 in the global phone book to use the custom EAP configuration by:
-- Specifying the AuthenticationMethod parameter with the value EAP
-- Specifying the EapConfigXmlStream parameter with the value of the EapConfigXmlStream method of the previously created variable.
By specifying the Passthru parameter, you can see the configuration of the VPN connection object.
PS C:\> Set-VpnConnection -Name "Test4" -AllUserConnection -AuthenticationMethod Eap -EapConfigXmlStream $a.EapConfigXmlStream -PassThru
