Return TypeZero or more modified NetworkAdapter objcts Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are modified. Indicates that wake-on-LAN is enabled on the virtual network adapter. The valid types are e1000, Flexible, Vmxnet, EnhancedVmxnet, and Vmxnet3, and Unknown. Specifies the type of the network adapter. If the value is $false, it starts disconnected. If the value is $true, the virtual network adapter starts connected when its associated virtual machine powers on. For more information about default servers, see the description of Connect-VIServer. If no value is given to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. For more information about the RunAsync parameter run 'help About_RunAsync' in the VMware PowerCLI console. In this mode, the output of the cmdlet is a Task object. Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. Use this parameter only if the DistributedSwitch parameter is specified. Specifies the port of the virtual switch to which you want to connect the network adapter. Specifies a standard or a distributed port group to which you want to connect the network adapter. Specifying a distributed port group name is obsolete. Specifies the name of the network to which you want to connect the virtual network adapter. Specifies an optional MAC address for the virtual network adapter. Specifies a virtual switch to which you want to connect the network adapter. If the value is $false, it is disconnected. If the value is $true, the virtual network adapter is connected after its creation. If the value is $false, the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation. If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. Specifies the virtual network adapter you want to configure. You can change the MAC address and the network name, and to configure the Connected, StartConnected, and WakeOnLan properties of the adapter.
