Description

The Set-NetEventWFPCaptureProvider cmdlet modifies the configuration of a Windows Firewall Platform (WFP) capture provider. For more information about the NetEventWFPCaptureProvider, see the Add-NetEventWFPCaptureProvider cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Modify a WFP capture provider

PS C:\>New-NetEventSession -Name "WFPCapture" -CaptureMode RealtimeLocal -LocalFilePath "C:\users\DavidChew\Documents\wfpdata.etl"
PS C:\> Add-NetEventWFPCaptureProvider -SessionName "WFPCapture"
PS C:\> Set-NetEventWFPCaptureProvider -SessionName "WFPCapture" -CaptureLayerSet IPv4Inbound, IPv6Inbound -IPAddresses "127.0.0.1", "::1"
PS C:\> Start-NetEventSession -Name "WFPCapture"
PS C:\> ping 127.0.0.1
PS C:\> ping ::1
PS C:\> Stop-NetEventSession -Name "WFPCapture"
PS C:\> Remove-NetEventSession -Name "WFPCapture"

The first command creates a network event session by using the New-NetEventSession cmdlet. This command also assigns the name WFPCapture to the session.

The second command uses the current cmdlet to create a WFP capture provider for the session named WFPCapture.

The third command configures the provider for capture layer directional filtering and loopback IP addresses.

The fourth command starts the session named WFPCapture.

The fifth and commands use the ping utility to test the local host address in both IPv4 and IPv6. The provider should capture both of these local test connections.

The final two commands stop the session named WFPCapture and remove it.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-AssociatedEventSession

Specifies the associated network event session, as a CIM object. To obtain the network event session, use the Get-NetEventSession cmdlet.

Type:CimInstance
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CaptureLayerSet

Specifies a WFP capture set, which designates the layers and directions to filter. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • IPv4Inbound
  • IPv4Outbound
  • IPv6Inbound
  • IPv6Outbound

You can logically OR the direction and IP layer pairs together. For instance, you could capture incoming loopback traffic from IPv6 to avoid seeing duplicate traffic received by the loopback interface.

Type:WFPCaptureSet
Accepted values:IPv4Inbound, IPv4Outbound, IPv6Inbound, IPv6Outbound
Position:3007
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputObject

Specifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.

Type:CimInstance[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-IPAddresses

Specifies an array of IP addresses. The provider filters for and logs network traffic that matches the IP addresses that this parameter specifies. The provider joins multiple addresses by using logical OR.

Type:String[]
Position:3008
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Level

Specifies the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) event error levels that NetEventWFPCaptureProvider returns. Use a level of detail specifier as a filter the type of error events that are logged. The default value for this parameter is 0x4, for informational events. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • 0x5. Verbose
  • 0x4. Informational
  • 0x3. Warning
  • 0x2. Error
  • 0x1. Critical
  • 0x0. LogAlways

The provider must log the event if the value of the event is less than or equal to the value of this parameter. Lower level events up to and including the specified level are logged.

Type:Byte
Position:3003
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-MatchAllKeyword

Specifies a keyword bitmask that restricts the events that the provider logs.

Type:UInt64
Position:3005
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-MatchAnyKeyword

Specifies keywords as a set of hexadecimal values. Keywords are flags that you can combine to generate hexadecimal values that enable the provider to write one or more events for which it is instrumented, if a match is found. Use a set of hexadecimal values for keywords instead of the keyword names, and apply a filter to write ETW events for keyword matches. For more information, see EnableTraceEx2 function in the Microsoft Developer Network library.

Type:UInt64
Position:3004
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SessionName

Specifies an array of session names that are associated with the NetEventWFPCaptureProvider. This parameter has the same value as the Name parameter for the New-NetEventSession cmdlet.

Type:String[]
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-TCPPorts

Specifies an array of TCP ports. The provider filters and logs network traffic that matches the ports that this parameter specifies. The provider joins multiple port numbers with logical OR.

Type:UInt16[]
Position:3009
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-UDPPorts

Specifies an array of UDP ports. The provider filters and logs network traffic that matches the ports that this parameter specifies. The provider joins multiple port numbers with logical OR.

Type:UInt16[]
Position:3010
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:wi
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
