[CommonParameters]

Required	Parameter Name	Type	Position	Features	Description
optional	ActiveOnly	SwitchParameter	named		If set, only the active ports are returned.
optional	ConnectedOnly	SwitchParameter	named		If set, only the connected ports are returned.
optional	Key	String[]	named		Specifies the key of the port which you want to retrieve.
optional	Server	VIServer[]	named		Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is provided or $null value is passed to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of Connect-VIServer.
optional	Uplink	SwitchParameter	named		If set, only uplink ports are returned. If not set, both uplink and non-uplink ports are returned. This parameter, like every SwitchParameter, can also be set to false (-Uplink:$false), in which case only non-uplink ports are returned.
optional	VDPortgroup	VDPortgroup[]	named	pipeline	Specifies the distributed virtual port group whose ports you want to retrieve.
optional	VDSwitch	VDSwitch[]	named	pipeline	Specifies the vSphere distributed switch whose ports you want to retrieve.
