Description

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

Set-SmbServerAlternativePort -TransportType QUIC -Port 1

Configures an SMB server alternative port that uses the QUIC transport protocol on port number 1.

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

-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:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DisableInstances

Disables alternative ports on SMB instances. Currently only the Default instance is allowed. This setting is not used.

Type:Instance
Accepted values:None, Default
Position:4
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-EnableInstances

Enables alternative ports on SMB instances. Currently only the Default instance is allowed. This setting is not used.

Type:Instance
Accepted values:None, Default
Position:3
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Force

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

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

-Port

Specifies the port number that the SMB connection should use.

Type:UInt16
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
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

-TransportType

Specifies the network transport used by SMB. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • TCP: Use TCP network transport.
  • QUIC: Use QUIC network transport.
  • None: Use default transport behavior (first try TCP then try QUIC).
Type:TransportType
Accepted values:None, TCP, QUIC
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet isn't run.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:wi
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
