Syntax
Parameter Set: Get0
Get-DhcpServerv6FreeIPAddress [-Prefix] <IPAddress> [[-NumAddress] <UInt32> ] [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-ComputerName <String> ] [-EndAddress <IPAddress> ] [-StartAddress <IPAddress> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Get-DhcpServerv6FreeIPAddress cmdlet gets one or more free IPv6 addresses from the specified scope.
If the NumAddress parameter is specified, then the requested number of free IPv6 addresses are returned. If the NumAddress parameter is not specified, then a single free IPv6 address will be returned. The maximum number of free IPv6 addresses returned is capped at 1024
.
If the StartAddress parameter is specified and the EndAddress parameter is not specified, then the free IPv6 addresses starting from the specified StartAddress parameter value through the ending of the IPv6 address range of the scope are returned.
If the EndAddress parameter is specified and the StartAddress parameter is not specified, then the free IPv6 addresses starting from the beginning of the IPv6 address range of the scope through the specified EndAddress parameter value are returned.
If both of the StartAddress and EndAddress parameters are specified, then the free IPv6 addresses between the specified StartAddress and EndAddress parameter values are returned.
The exclusion address ranges, reservations, active, offered and bad, or declined, leases are excluded while returning free IPv6 addresses.
The IPv6 address ranges associated with a policy will be included while returning free IPv6 addresses.
The IPv6 addresses which are in expired, or doomed, state will be included while returning free IPv6 addresses.
If the requested number of free IPv6 addresses could not be found, then a warning is displayed.
