The Set-SmbServerAlternativePort cmdlet can be used to set the alternate ports that SMB will use
for incoming connections that accepts a list of port numbers and updates the SMB configuration
accordingly.
Examples
Example 1: Configure a new SMB server alternative port
Configures an SMB server alternative port that uses the QUIC transport protocol on port number
1.

computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the
computer.
