Test-VMNetworkAdapter [-VMNetworkAdapter] <VMNetworkAdapter> [-Sender] [-Receiver] -SenderIPAddress <String>
 -ReceiverIPAddress <String> [-NextHopMacAddress <String>] [-IsolationId <Int32>] -SequenceNumber <Int32>
 [-PayloadSize <Int32>] [-Passthru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

VMObject

Test-VMNetworkAdapter [-VM] <VirtualMachine> [-Name <String>] [-Sender] [-Receiver] -SenderIPAddress <String>

DESCRIPTION

The Test-VMNetworkAdapter cmdlet tests connectivity between virtual machines by using Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Ping packets. Ping verifies IP-level connectivity to another TCP/IP computer by sending ICMP Echo Request messages.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Test connectivity

PS C:\> Test-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName "ContosoVM01" -Receiver -SenderIPAddress "10.20.20.5" -ReceiverIPAddress "10.20.20.6" -VMNetworkAdapterName "ContosoNic01"

This command tests connectivity by using the virtual network adapter named ContosoNic01. The command targets the receiver virtual machine.

PARAMETERS

-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.
