This command retrieves the network interfaces used by the SMB client that match the link speed of 10 gigabits or more.

Example 3: Display details for network interfaces

PS C:\>Get-SmbClientNetworkInterface | Where-Object -Property LinkSpeed -Gt 10GB | Select-Object -Property *

CimInstanceProperties : {FriendlyName, InterfaceIndex, IpAddresses, LinkSpeed...}
CimSystemProperties   : Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimSystemProperties

This command displays all of the information retrieved from the network interfaces used by the SMB client that match the link speed of 10 gigabits or more.

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

-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

Inputs

None

Outputs

CimInstance

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. This cmdlet returns a MSFT_SmbClientNetworkInterface object that represents the network interfaces used by the SMB client.
