Get-UDP Cmdlet
Parameters Output Objects Config Settings
The Get-UDP component is used to listen for UDP datagrams.
Syntax
Get-UDP [parameters]
Remarks
The get-udp cmdlet will bind to a specific local host address and listen for UDP datagrams received by the interface.
The cmdlet can be used by specifying a local port to listen to, and optionally you can set LocalIP to the IP address whose traffic you wish to monitor (if it is not the default), and set Time to the number of seconds you wish to monitor for UDP datagrams. For each packet that crosses the interface, the cmdlet will return a UDPData object.
The cmdlets support pipeline input for some of their parameters. Prebuilding an object and piping it to the cmdlet is very useful, but should be used with caution to prevent security conflicts. Steps have been taken to decrease the risk of a possibly accidental pipe to the cmdlet, for instance, the Credential parameter cannot be piped to the cmdlet and must be specified manually.
# listen for one hour
get-udp -port 4444 -time 3600
# listen on a specific interface indefinitely
get-udp -port 4000 -localip $ipaddr

null
Config Property (Get-UDP Cmdlet)
Specifies one or more configuration settings.
Syntax
Get-UDP -Config string[]
Remarks

}
Remarks
For each UDP datagram received, the cmdlet will return a UDPData object.
Config Settings (Get-UDP Cmdlet)
The cmdlet accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the cmdlet, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.UDP Config Settings
The default value for this setting is False.
Note: This setting is only available in Windows.
The default value is false for the default library and true for the Async library. The default value is false.
Note: This setting is only available in Windows.
In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the cmdlet initiate connections (or accept in the case of server cmdlets) only through that interface.
If the cmdlet is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
Note: This setting uses the qWAVE API is only available on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later.
Note: This setting uses the qWAVE API which is only available on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 or above.
Note: QOSTrafficType must be set before setting Active to true.
The default value for this setting is False.
The default value for this setting is False.
Socket Config Settings
Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the cmdlet is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the cmdlet is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
This setting only works on these cmdlets: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the cmdlet to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.
If using the .NET Standard Library, this setting will be true on all platforms. The .NET Standard library does not support using the system security libraries.
Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all cmdlets used in the application.
When this value is set, the product's system dynamic link library (DLL) is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that file.
