Ethernet Cmdlets for Microsoft Windows* for PowerShell*

Overview

This download contains Ethernet cmdlets for Microsoft Windows* for PowerShell*, which allow you to get information, configure settings, or debug issues on supported Intel® Ethernet devices. Not all hardware and operating systems support all cmdlets.

• Ethernet cmdlets are supported on Intel® Ethernet 600 Series and newer devices.
• Firmware logging is supported only on Intel® Ethernet 600 and 800 Series devices.
• Debug dump is supported only on Intel® Ethernet 600 and 810 Series devices.

 Firmware Logging

In Windows, you use PowerShell and Ethernet cmdlets to set the configuration for firmware logs and generate the logs.

Firmware logs are generated in a binary format and have to be decoded by Customer Support. The information collected is related only to firmware and hardware for debugging purposes.

Prerequisites

You must have the latest base driver and NVM installed.

Installation

For most Intel Ethernet devices:

1. Download the zip file with the Ethernet cmdlets from the Intel Download Center.
2. Save the zip file to the system you are trying to debug.
3. Extract files from the zip file.
4. In the extracted files, double-click on Ethernet_Cmdlets.msi.

The cmdlets will automatically install to the current user's PowerShell module directory (for example, to C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\IntelEthernetCmdlets).

After installation, you can use the cmdlets without manually importing the module.

NOTE: Installation steps may vary for some devices. Refer to the Intel® Ethernet Adapters and Devices User Guide for more information.
