Description

The Set-NetEventWFPCaptureProvider cmdlet modifies the configuration of a Windows Firewall Platform (WFP) capture provider. For more information about the NetEventWFPCaptureProvider, see the Add-NetEventWFPCaptureProvider cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Modify a WFP capture provider

PS C:\>New-NetEventSession -Name "WFPCapture" -CaptureMode RealtimeLocal -LocalFilePath "C:\users\DavidChew\Documents\wfpdata.etl"
PS C:\> Add-NetEventWFPCaptureProvider -SessionName "WFPCapture"
PS C:\> Set-NetEventWFPCaptureProvider -SessionName "WFPCapture" -CaptureLayerSet IPv4Inbound, IPv6Inbound -IPAddresses "127.0.0.1", "::1"
PS C:\> Start-NetEventSession -Name "WFPCapture"
PS C:\> ping 127.0.0.1
PS C:\> ping ::1
PS C:\> Stop-NetEventSession -Name "WFPCapture"
PS C:\> Remove-NetEventSession -Name "WFPCapture"

The first command creates a network event session by using the New-NetEventSession cmdlet. This command also assigns the name WFPCapture to the session.

The second command uses the current cmdlet to create a WFP capture provider for the session named WFPCapture.

The third command configures the provider for capture layer directional filtering and loopback IP addresses.

The fourth command starts the session named WFPCapture.

The fifth and commands use the ping utility to test the local host address in both IPv4 and IPv6. The provider should capture both of these local test connections.

The final two commands stop the session named WFPCapture and remove it.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-AssociatedEventSession

Specifies the associated network event session, as a CIM object. To obtain the network event session, use the Get-NetEventSession cmdlet.

Parameter properties

Type:CimInstance
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

BySessionOfTheProvider
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:True
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-CaptureLayerSet

Specifies a WFP capture set, which designates the layers and directions to filter. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • IPv4Inbound
  • IPv4Outbound
  • IPv6Inbound
  • IPv6Outbound

You can logically OR the direction and IP layer pairs together. For instance, you could capture incoming loopback traffic from IPv6 to avoid seeing duplicate traffic received by the loopback interface.

Parameter properties

Type:WFPCaptureSet
Default value:None
Accepted values:IPv4Inbound, IPv4Outbound, IPv6Inbound, IPv6Outbound
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:3007
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments: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.

Parameter properties

Type:

CimSession[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False
Aliases:Session

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False
Aliases:cf

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-InputObject

Specifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.

Parameter properties

Type:

CimInstance[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

InputObject (cdxml)
Position:Named
Mandatory:True
Value from pipeline:True
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-IPAddresses

Specifies an array of IP addresses. The provider filters for and logs network traffic that matches the IP addresses that this parameter specifies. The provider joins multiple addresses by using logical OR.

Parameter properties

Type:

String[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:3008
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-Level

Specifies the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) event error levels that NetEventWFPCaptureProvider returns. Use a level of detail specifier as a filter the type of error events that are logged. The default value for this parameter is 0x4, for informational events. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • 0x5. Verbose
  • 0x4. Informational
  • 0x3. Warning
  • 0x2. Error
  • 0x1. Critical
  • 0x0. LogAlways

The provider must log the event if the value of the event is less than or equal to the value of this parameter. Lower level events up to and including the specified level are logged.

Parameter properties

Type:Byte
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:3003
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-MatchAllKeyword

Specifies a keyword bitmask that restricts the events that the provider logs.

Parameter properties

Type:UInt64
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:3005
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-MatchAnyKeyword

Specifies keywords as a set of hexadecimal values. Keywords are flags that you can combine to generate hexadecimal values that enable the provider to write one or more events for which it is instrumented, if a match is found. Use a set of hexadecimal values for keywords instead of the keyword names, and apply a filter to write ETW events for keyword matches. For more information, see EnableTraceEx2 function in the Microsoft Developer Network library.
