Get-NetAdapter -Name vEth* | Format-List -Property Additional attributes with Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty You can list all interface properties with Format-List and the parameter Property. However, if you only want to retrieve virtual adapters, you again will need Select-Object: Get-NetAdapter | ? Virtual -eq $true You can get some of the attributes by using the parameters of Get-NetAdapter as filters, for instance to access only one physical adapter: Get-NetAdapter -Physical Get-NetAdapter -Name vEth* | select Name, MacAddress, MediaConnectionState, MediaType Once you have found the required properties of the MSFT_NetAdapter object using Get-Member, you can extract them as usual with Select-Object. Respectively: Get-NetAdapter -InterfaceIndex 3 The Name parameter also accepts wildcards, which allows you to access all interfaces that begin with "Ethernet": Get-NetAdapter -Name Ethernet*Īlternatively, you can use the parameter InterfaceDescription and InterfaceIndex to filter the output: Get-NetAdapter -InterfaceDescription Real* This command only retrieves information from one interface to avoid displaying properties multiple times. However, Get-NetAdapter can retrieve more than 100 properties that you can display with the help of Get-Member: Get-NetAdapter -Name Ethernet0 | Get-Member -MemberType Property If you run the cmdlet without arguments, it reads all adapters and displays a few of their properties such as the MAC address, the status, and the link speed. If you want to get an overview of the available NICs and their statuses, Get-NetAdapter offers the most important information. In the above example, the user has set the value of attribute WakeOnLan to LANOnly as shown when done dir.Reading the configuration with Get-NetAdapter The user can set any of the attribute values as shown in the sample screenshot below: LanWithPXEBoot - Allow the computer to be turned on by special WLAN signals and immediately boot to PXE.LANOnly - Allow the computer to be turned on by special LAN signals.The attribute values and their import are as described below: Possible values for this attribute can be obtained with the command as shown below: Dir WakeOnLAN|Select PossibleValuesĪs seen in the above screenshot, DCPP provides more attribute values apart from default ones as facilitated by BIOS F2. DCPP presents this feature to the user in the form of attribute named WakeOnLAN. LAN with PXE Boot - Allow the computer to be turned on by special WLAN signals and immediately boot to PXE.ĭell Command PowerShell Provider (DCPP) has strived hard to match the F2 screen.LAN Only - Allow the computer to be turned on by special LAN signals.Disabled - Does not allow the computer to turn on by special LAN signals when it receives a wake-up signal from the LAN or wireless LAN.The import of the above attribute values is explained below: They are being provided as an example of how to send a magic packet.Īs seen in the screen above BIOS F2 provides three options Disabled, LAN Only, and LAN with PXE Boot. There are also PowerShell commandlets that can send magic packets.ĭisclaimer: Dell does not endorse or support these applications or commandlets. Note: A magic packet is sent by programs that are designed to send them like MagicPacket in the Windows Store ( ). In case the computer being awakened is communicating using Wi-Fi, a supplementary standard that is called Wake on Wireless LAN must be employed. If a magic packet is received that is directed to the device's MAC address, the network adapter signals the computer's power supply or motherboard to initiate computer wake-up, in the same way as pressing the power button would do. Powered-down or turned off computers capable of Wake-on-LAN contain network devices able to listen to incoming packets in low-power mode while the computer is turned off. Wake-on-LAN is implemented using a specially designed packet that is called a magic packet, which is sent to all computers in a network, among them the computer to be woken up. Ethernet connections, including home and work networks, wireless data networks and the Internet itself, are based on packets of data that are sent between computers. This feature only works when the computer is connected to AC. Wake on LAN/WLAN option allows the computer to turn on from the S4 or S5 state when triggered by a special LAN signal or when triggered by a special wireless LAN signal.
