Applies to

Platform: VMware, Hyper-V

Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

Syntax

Add-VBRNetworkTrafficRule -Name <String> -SourceIPStart <IPAddress> -SourceIPEnd <IPAddress> -TargetIPStart <IPAddress> -TargetIPEnd <IPAddress> [-EnableEncryption [<SwitchParameter>]] [-EnableThrottling [<SwitchParameter>]] [-ThrottlingUnit <VBRSpeedUnit>] [-ThrottlingValue <Int32>] [-EnableThrottlingWindow [<SwitchParameter>]] [-ThrottlingWindowOptions <VBRBackupWindowOptions>] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates network traffic rules. With network traffic rules, you can limit the traffic throughput between components in the backup infrastructure.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input	Accept Wildcard Characters
Name	Specifies a name that you want to assign to a network traffic rule.	True	Named	False	False
SourceIPStart	Specifies the first IP address of the IP source range.	True	Named	False	False
SourceIPEnd	Specifies the last IP address of the IP source range.	True	Named	False	False
TargetIPStart	Specifies the first IP address of the IP target range.	True	Named	False	False
TargetIPEnd	Specifies the last IP address of the IP target range.	True	Named	False	False
EnableEncryption	Enables encryption for a network traffic rule. Veeam Backup & Replication will encrypt the data that is passed between backup infrastructure components on the source and target side.	False	Named	False	False
EnableThrottling	Enables throttling for a network traffic rule. Veeam Backup & Replication will limit the traffic throughput between the backup infrastructure components within the specified IP range. Use the following parameters to set the maximum value: ThrottlingValue ThrottlingUnit	False	Named	False	False
ThrottlingValue	Specifies the maximum speed value that must be used to transfer VM machine data from source to target.	False	Named	False	False
ThrottlingUnit	For the EnableThrottling parameter. Specifies the measuring unit for the ThrottlingValue parameter: You can set the following units: MbitPerSec MbytePerSec KbytePerSec Default: MbitPerSec.	False	Named	False	False
EnableThrottlingWindow	Indicates that a schedule for a network traffic rule is enabled.	False	Named	False	False
ThrottlingWindowOptions	Specifies the time interval during which Veeam Backup & Replication must apply a network traffic rule. Accepts the VBRBackupWindowOptions type.	False	Named	False	False

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the About CommonParameters section of Microsoft Docs.
