Cmdlets are usually implemented around resource operations. The four basic operations are CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE. This set of operations is known as CRUD. Most of the cmdlets support CRUD which are respectively cmdlets that start with the New/Get/Set/Remove cmdlet verbs but they also may have additional operations

Step 1: Retrieve a object by running a Get command

You can READ objects by using Get-VDUplinkLacpPolicy cmdlet. See example below:

# Retrieves the Link Aggregation Control Protocol policy of a vSphere distributed switch named "MyVDSwitch".

Get-VDSwitch "MyVDSwitch" | Get-VDUplinkLacpPolicy

Step 2 : Run commands from the CRUD group

You can UPDATE objects by using Set-VDUplinkLacpPolicy cmdlet. See example below:

# Retrieves a vSphere distributed switch named "MyVDSwitch" and updates its policy to enable the Link Aggregation Control Protocol, and sets the corresponding policy mode to active.

Get-VDSwitch "MyVDSwitch" | Get-VDUplinkLacpPolicy | Set-VDUplinkLacpPolicy -Enabled $true -Mode Active
