Networking Introspection CmdLets are not available cross-platform #6076
Description
CmdLets in the NetTCPIP & other Net* modules are not available cross-platform.
My use-case: we use powershell + netCore as a cross-platform develop & deploy solution. (It's great!)
If I might offer an order of priorities based on that use-case, I would prioritise
- 'Get-' and 'Test-' CmdLets over 'Set-' & mutators
- NetTcpIp over other Net* modules
Rationale: In container and serverless application/service deployment, the ability (and hence the need) to mutate hardware and security configuration is limited; but the need to inspect network configuration does not go away.
So top of my list are:
Get-NetIPAddress
Test-NetConnection
Get-NetIPConfiguration
Get-NetIPInterface
Resolve-DnsName
Find-NetRouteEnvironment data
