Detailed Description

The Set-NetIPv6Protocol cmdlet modifies the global IPv6 protocol configuration for the computer. This includes parameters such as the default hop limit, the neighbor cache limit, and multi-cast configuration.

Parameters

-AddressMaskReply<AddressMaskReply>

Modifies the AddressMaskReply property. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
-- Enabled: The computer will respond to ICMP Address mask packets.
-- Disabled: The computer will not respond to ICMP Address mask packets.

-DefaultHopLimit<UInt32>

Modifies the default hop limit. This parameter value sets the default value for the CurrentHopLimit property in NetIPInterface. The CurrentHopLimit is the value that the IP interface writes in the hop limit field in all outbound IPv6 traffic. When forwarding a packet, routers are required to decrease the Hop Limit by 1 and to discard the packet when the Hop Limit is 0.
The default value is 128.

-DhcpMediaSense<DhcpMediaSense>

Modifies the DHCPMediaSense property. This parameter value provides a mechanism for the network adapter to notify the protocol stack of media connect and disconnect events. These events trigger the DHCP client to take some action, such as attempting to renew a DHCP lease or removing routes related to a disconnected network. One application of Media Sense enables the network parameters on the notebook computer of a roaming user to automatically and transparently update without rebooting when the user moves from one location to another. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
-- Enabled: DhcpMediaSense set to Enabled.
-- Disabled: DhcpMediaSense is set to Disabled.
The default value is Enabled.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\StandardCimv2\MSFT_NetIPv6Protocol

  The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
