Description

The Connect-VMNetworkAdapter cmdlet connects a virtual network adapter to a virtual switch.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Connect-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName Test1,Test2 -Name Internet -SwitchName InternetAccess

Connects a virtual network adapter named Internet in virtual machines Test1 and Test2 to a virtual switch InternetAccess.

Example 2

PS C:\> Get-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName Test1 | Connect-VMNetworkAdapter -SwitchName InternetAccess

Connects a virtual network adapter in virtual machine Test1 to virtual switch InternetAccess.

Example 3

PS C:\> Get-VMSwitch InternetAccess | Connect-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName Test1

Connects a virtual network adapter in virtual machine Test1 to switch InternetAccess.

Parameters

-CimSession
