function Invoke-XpathQuery {

    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Invoke-XpathQuery provides a consistent way of performing xpath queries on
    XML element and document nodes on both Desktop and Core PowerShell editions.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Invoke-XpathQuery is required because of the differing XPath implementations
    in the dotnet FullCRL on Desktop and the dotNet Core CLR on Core editions of
    PowerShell.
 
    The is typcially only utilised internally by PowerNSX cmdlets, but is
    exported by the PowerNSX module to provide the same capability to anyone
    who needs to manipulate XML in scripts that consume PowerNSX without having
    to manually copy the function out of the PowerNSX code in order to leverage
    it for cross platform support.
 
    It is highly likely that if you dont know why you need this cmdlet, then you
    dont need it :)
    .EXAMPLE
    $NodeToRemove = (Invoke-XPathQuery -QueryMethod SelectSingleNode -Node $xmlnode -Query "descendant::subInterface[index=0]")
 
    returns a single XML node matching the specified XPATH query.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $NodeToRemove = (Invoke-XPathQuery -QueryMethod SelectNodes -Node $xmlnode -Query "descendant::subInterface")
 
    returns a collection of XML nodes matching the specified XPATH query.

function Format-XML () {

    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Accepts a string containing valid XML tags or an XMLElement object and
    outputs it as a formatted string including newline and indentation of child
    nodes.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Valid XML returned by the NSX API is a single string with no newlines or
    indentation. While PowerNSX cmdlets typicallly emit an XMLElement object,
    which PowerShell outputs as formatted tables or lists when outputing to host,
    making normal human interaction easy, for output to file or debug stream,
    format-xml converts the API returned XML to more easily read formated XML
    complete with linebreaks and indentation.
 
    As a side effect, this has the added benefit of being useable as an
    additional format handler on the PowerShell pipeline, so rather than
    displaying output objects using familiar table and list output formats, the
    user now has the option of displaying the native XML in a human readable
    format.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-NsxTransportZone | Format-Xml
 
    Displays the XMLElement object returned by Get-NsxTransportZone as formatted
    XML.

    Most PowerNSX Objects are internally handled as XMLELement objects.
    For objects (or collections of objects) that are XMLElements, this cmdlet
    will format them (using format-xml) and then write them to disk using the
    specified encoding.
 
    An export file created in this fashion can be edited by hand with complete
    onus on the user to ensure the XML remains well formed and continues to be
    a 'valid' NSX object.
 
    The intent of this cmdlet is to allow easy storage of any PowerNSX objects
    to disk so they can be later re-imported to use as if they had been
    retrieved directly from the API. It is intended to be used in conjunction
    with Import-NsxObject
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Export-NsxObject -FilePath EdgeExport.xml
    C:\ PS>$ImportedEdge = Import-NsxObject -FilePath EdgeExport.xml
 
    Exports the XMLElement object returned by Get-NsxEdge as formatted
    XML to the file ExdgeExport.xml in the current directory and then imports
    the content of the same file and stores the XML object in the variable
    $ImportedEdge.

    .SYNOPSIS
    Constructs and performs a valid NSX REST call. This function is DEPRECATED
    Use Invoke-NsxWebRequest for all new functions.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Invoke-NsxRestMethod uses either a specified connection object as returned
    by Connect-NsxServer, or the $DefaultNsxConnection global variable if
    defined to construct a REST api call to the NSX API.
 
    Invoke-NsxRestMethod constructs the appropriate request headers required by
    the NSX API, including authentication details (built from the connection
    object), required content type and includes any custom headers specified by
    the caller that might be required by a specific API resource, before making
    the rest call and returning the appropriate XML object to the caller.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Invoke-NsxRestMethod -Method get -Uri "/api/2.0/vdn/scopes"
 
    Performs a 'Get' against the URI /api/2.0/vdn/scopes and returns the xml
    object respresenting the NSX API XML reponse. This call requires the
    $DefaultNsxServer variable to exist and be populated with server and
    authentiation details as created by Connect-NsxServer -DefaultConnection
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $MyConnection = Connect-NsxServer -Server OtherNsxManager -DefaultConnection:$false
 
    Invoke-NsxRestMethod -Method get -Uri "/api/2.0/vdn/scopes" -connection $MyConnection
 
    Creates a connection variable for a non default NSX server, performs a
    'Get' against the URI /api/2.0/vdn/scopes and returns the xml
    object respresenting the NSX API XML reponse.

    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Connects to the specified NSX server and constructs a connection object.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    The Connect-NsxServer cmdlet returns a connection object that contains
    the necessary information for PowerNSX cmdlets to locate and authenticate
    to NSX server in order to perform REST API calls.
 
    Because the underlying REST protocol is not connection oriented, the
    'Connection' concept relates to just validating endpoint details and
    credentials and storing details relevant to the NSX manager endpoint.
 
    NOTE:
 
    Previous releases of PowerNSX required the user to specify the NSX manager
    endpoint directly and required the use of an NSX manager local account
    with super_user privileges.
 
    This behaviour as a default is now DEPRECATED and will be removed in a
    future release (the ability to connect directly to NSX using the admin
    account will not be removed, but will no longer be the default behaviour)
 
    The preferred method for most PowerNSX use is now to use the -vCenterServer
    parameter to specify the vCenter server that NSX is connected to, along with
    appropriate SSO credentials to authenticate to NSX. This will become the
    default behaviour in a future version (ie. will not require a -vCenterServer
    parameter name and will replace the current default behaviour of assuming
    the first argument specified without a parameter to be the desired NSX
    server endpoint.)
 
    Full support for all NSX roles is now available in NSX. (cmdlets that
    attempt API operations not supported by the users role will throw
    appropriate not authorised errors from the API.)
 
    Minimum required rights are vCenter Inventory ReadOnly and NSX Auditor role.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Connect-NsxServer -vCenterServer vcenter.corp.local
 
    Connect to vCenter server vcenter.corp.local to determine the NSX server IP
    and return an appropriate connection object. SSO Credentials will
    be prompted for and will be used for both vCenter and NSX authentication.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Connect-NsxServer -vCenterServer vcenter.corp.local -credential $cred
 
    Connect to vCenter server vcenter.corp.local using the SSO credentials in $cred
    to determine the NSX server IP and return an appropriate connection object.
 
    The credentials specified in -credential are used for both vCenter connection
    (if not already established) AND SSO authentication to NSX server.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Connect-NsxServer -vCenterServer vcenter.corp.local -username me@vsphere.local -password secret
 
    Connect to vCenter server vcenter.corp.local using the SSO credentials in
    -username and -password to determine the NSX server IP and return an
    appropriate connection object.
 
    The credentials specified in -credential are used for both vCenter connection
    (if not already established) AND SSO authentication to NSX server.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Connect-NsxServer -vCenterServer vcenter.corp.local -credential $cred -VIDefaultConnection:$false
 
    Connect to vCenter server vcenter.corp.local using the SSO credentials in
    -username and -password to determine the NSX server IP and return an
    appropriate connection object. The PowerCLi connection stored in the returned
    connection object is NOT stored in $DefaultViServer.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Connect-NsxServer -NsxServer nsxserver -username admin -Password VMware1!
 
    Connects to the nsxserver 'nsxserver' with the specified credentials. If a
    registered vCenter server is configured in NSX manager, you are prompted to
    establish a PowerCLI session to that vCenter along with required
    authentication details.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Connect-NsxServer -NsxServer nsxserver -username admin -Password VMware1! -DisableViAutoConnect
 
    Connects to the nsxserver 'nsxserver' with the specified credentials and
    supresses the prompt to establish a PowerCLI connection with the registered
    vCenter.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Connect-NsxServer -NsxServer nsxserver -username admin -Password VMware1! -ViUserName administrator@vsphere.local -ViPassword VMware1!
 
    Connects to the nsxserver 'nsxserver' with the specified credentials and
    automatically establishes a PowerCLI connection with the registered
    vCenter using the credentials specified.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $MyConnection = Connect-NsxServer -NsxServer nsxserver -username admin -Password VMware1! -DefaultConnection:$false
    Get-NsxTransportZone 'TransportZone1' -connection $MyConnection
 
    Connects to the nsxserver 'nsxserver' with the specified credentials and
    then uses the returned connection object in a subsequent call to
    Get-NsxTransportZone. The $DefaultNsxConnection parameter is not populated
 
    Note: Any PowerNSX cmdlets will fail if the -connection parameters is not
    specified and the $DefaultNsxConnection variable is not populated.
 
    Note: Pipline operations involving multiple PowerNSX commands that interact
    with the NSX API (not all) require that all cmdlets specify the -connection
    parameter (not just the fist one.)

    Note, if running this against a manager that currently is configured as
    secondary, and universal objects exist, then the state will transition to
    TRANSIT rather than standalone. The may then be configured as PRIMARY, or
    if all universal objects are deleted, as STANDALONE.

    .SYNOPSIS
    Retreives Spoofguard policy objects from NSX.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    If a virtual machine has been compromised, its IP address can be spoofed
    and malicious transmissions can bypass firewall policies. You create a
    SpoofGuard policy for specific networks that allows you to authorize the IP
    addresses reported by VMware Tools and alter them if necessary to prevent
    spoofing. SpoofGuard inherently trusts the MAC addresses of virtual machines

    Firewall rules, you can use SpoofGuard to block traffic determined to be
    spoofed.
 
    Use the Get-NsxSpoofguardPolicy cmdlet to retreive existing SpoofGuard
    Policy objects from NSX.

    .SYNOPSIS
    Creates a new Spoofguard policy in NSX.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    If a virtual machine has been compromised, its IP address can be spoofed
    and malicious transmissions can bypass firewall policies. You create a
    SpoofGuard policy for specific networks that allows you to authorize the IP
    addresses reported by VMware Tools and alter them if necessary to prevent

    spoofed.
 
    Use the New-NsxSpoofguardPolicy cmdlet to create a new SpoofGuard
    Policy in NSX.
 
    Policies are not published (enforced) automatically. Use the -publish
    switch to automatically publish a newly created policy. Note that this
    could impact VM communications depending on the policy settings.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $ls = Get-NsxTransportZone | Get-NsxLogicalSwitch LSTemp
    New-NsxSpoofguardPolicy -Name Test -Description Testing -OperationMode tofu -Network $ls
 
    Create a new Trust on First Use Spoofguard policy protecting the Logical
    Switch LSTemp
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $vss_pg = Get-VirtualPortGroup -Name "VM Network" | select-object -First 1
    $vds_pg = Get-VDPortgroup -Name "Internet"
    $ls = Get-NsxTransportZone | Get-NsxLogicalSwitch -Name LSTemp
    New-NsxSpoofguardPolicy -Name Test -Description Testing -OperationMode manual -Network $vss_pg, $vds_pg, $ls
 
    Create a new manual approval policy for three networks (a VSS PG, VDS PG and
    Logical switch)
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $ls = Get-NsxTransportZone | Get-NsxLogicalSwitch LSTemp
    New-NsxSpoofguardPolicy -Name Test -Description Testing -OperationMode tofu -Network $ls -publish
 
    Create a new Trust on First Use Spoofguard policy protecting the Logical
    Switch LSTemp and publish it immediately.
    Publishing causes the policy to be enforced on the data plane immediately
    (and potentially block all communication, so use with care!)
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $ls = Get-NsxTransportZone | Get-NsxLogicalSwitch LSTemp
    New-NsxSpoofguardPolicy -Name Test -Description Testing -OperationMode tofu -Network $ls -AllowLocalIps

    .SYNOPSIS
    Publishes the specified Spoofguard policy object.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    If a virtual machine has been compromised, its IP address can be spoofed
    and malicious transmissions can bypass firewall policies. You create a
    SpoofGuard policy for specific networks that allows you to authorize the IP
    addresses reported by VMware Tools and alter them if necessary to prevent
    spoofing. SpoofGuard inherently trusts the MAC addresses of virtual machines
    collected from the VMX files and vSphere SDK. Operating separately from
    Firewall rules, you can use SpoofGuard to block traffic determined to be
    spoofed.
 
    Use the Publish-NsxSpoofguardPolicy cmdlet to publish the specified
    SpoofGuard Policy. This causes it to be enforced.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    New-NsxSpoofguardPolicy -Name Test -Description Testing -OperationMode manual -Network $vss_pg, $vds_pg, $ls
    Get-NsxSpoofguardPolicy test | Publish-NsxSpoofguardPolicy
 
    Create and then separately publish a new policy.

    Get-NsxSpoofguardPolicy test | Get-NsxSpoofguardNic -NetworkAdapter (Get-Vm TestVm | get-NetworkAdapter | select-object -first 1) | Grant-NsxSpoofguardNicApproval -IpAddress 1.2.3.4
    Get-NsxSpoofguardPolicy test | Publish-NsxSpoofguardPolicy

    Get-NsxSpoofguardPolicy test | Get-NsxSpoofguardNic -NetworkAdapter (Get-vm evil-vm | Get-NetworkAdapter| select -First 1) | Grant-NsxSpoofguardNicApproval -IpAddress 1.2.3.4 -Publish
 
    Grant approval for the first NIC on VM Evil-VM to use the IP 1.2.3.4 and

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-NsxSpoofguardPolicy test | Get-NsxSpoofguardNic -NetworkAdapter (Get-vm evil-vm | Get-NetworkAdapter| select -First 1) | Grant-NsxSpoofguardNicApproval --ApproveAllDetectedIps -Publish
 
    Grant approval for the first NIC on VM Evil-VM to use all IPs detected by
    whatever IP detction methods are available and publish immediately.
 
    Note: This *may* include 'local' IPs (such as fe80::/64) which may not be
    allowed if the policy is not enabled with 'AllowLocalIps'. In this case
    this operation will throw a cryptic error (Valid values are {2}) and not
    succeed. In this case you must either change the policy to allow local IPs,
    or manually approve the specific IPs you want. This issue affects the NSX
    UI as well.

# Distributed Router functions

    .SYNOPSIS
    Creates a new NSX Logical Router Interface Spec.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    NSX Logical Routers can host up to 1000 interfaces, each of which can be
    configured with multiple properties. In order to allow creation of Logical
    Routers with an arbitrary number of interfaces, a unique spec for each interface
    required must first be created.
 
    Logical Routers do support interfaces on VLAN backed portgroups, and this
    cmdlet will support a interface spec connected to a normal portgroup, however
    this is not noramlly a recommended scenario.

        uplink -ConnectedTo (Get-NsxTransportZone | Get-NsxLogicalSwitch LS1)

    .SYNOPSIS
    Conigures an NSX Edge Services Gateway Interface.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    NSX ESGs can host up to 10 interfaces and up to 200 subinterfaces, each of
    which can be configured with multiple properties.
 
    ESGs support interfaces connected to either VLAN backed port groups or NSX
    Logical Switches.
 
    Use Set-NsxEdgeInterface to change (including overwriting) the configuration
    of an interface.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $interface = Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Get-NsxEdgeInterface -Index 4
    $interface | Set-NsxEdgeInterface -Name "vNic4" -Type internal
        -ConnectedTo $ls4 -PrimaryAddress $ip4 -SubnetPrefixLength 24
 
    Get an interface, then update it.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $add1 = New-NsxAddressSpec -PrimaryAddress 11.11.11.11 -SubnetPrefixLength 24 -SecondaryAddresses 11.11.11.12, 11.11.11.13
    $add2 = New-NsxAddressSpec -PrimaryAddress 22.22.22.22 -SubnetPrefixLength 24 -SecondaryAddresses 22.22.22.23
 
    Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Get-NsxEdgeInterface -index 5 | Set-NsxEdgeInterface -ConnectedTo $ls4 -AddressSpec $add1,$add2
    -name "New Edge with Spec" -type internal
 
    Adds two addresses, precreated via New-AddressSpec to ESG Edge01 vnic 5

    .SYNOPSIS
    Gets SSLVPN Authentication Servers from an existing NSX Edge Services
    Gateway.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    An NSX Edge Service Gateway provides all NSX Edge services such as firewall,
    NAT, DHCP, VPN, load balancing, and high availability. Each NSX Edge virtual
    appliance can have a total of ten uplink and internal network interfaces and
    up to 200 subinterfaces. Multiple external IP addresses can be configured
    for load balancer, site‐to‐site VPN, and NAT services.
 
    SSL VPN allows remote users to connect securely to private networks behind an
    NSX Edge Services gateway and access servers and applications
    in the private networks.
 
    Authentication Servers define how the SSL VPN server authenticates user
    connections
 
    The Get-NsxSslVpnAuthServer cmdlet retreives the SSL VPN authentication
    sources configured on the specified Edge Services Gateway.

# Edge Routing related functions

function Set-NsxEdgeRouting {

    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Configures global routing configuration of an existing NSX Edge Services
    Gateway.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    An NSX Edge Service Gateway provides all NSX Edge services such as firewall,
    NAT, DHCP, VPN, load balancing, and high availability. Each NSX Edge virtual
    appliance can have a total of ten uplink and internal network interfaces and
    up to 200 subinterfaces. Multiple external IP addresses can be configured
    for load balancer, site‐to‐site VPN, and NAT services.
 
    ESGs perform ipv4 and ipv6 routing functions for connected networks and
    support both static and dynamic routing via OSPF, ISIS and BGP.
 
    The Set-NsxEdgeRouting cmdlet configures the global routing configuration of
    the specified Edge Services Gateway.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Configure the default route of the ESG
 
    PS C:\> Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Get-NsxEdgeRouting | Set-NsxEdgeRouting -DefaultGatewayVnic 0 -DefaultGatewayAddress 10.0.0.101
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Enable ECMP
 
    PS C:\> Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Get-NsxEdgeRouting | Set-NsxEdgeRouting -EnableECMP
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Enable OSPF
 
    PS C:\> Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Get-NsxEdgeRouting | Set-NsxEdgeRouting -EnableOSPF -RouterId 1.1.1.1
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Enable BGP
 
    PS C:\> Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Get-NsxEdgeRouting | Get-NsxEdge | Get-NsxEdgeRouting | Set-NsxEdgeRouting -EnableBGP -RouterId 1.1.1.1 -LocalAS 1234
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Get-NsxEdgeRouting | Set-NsxEdgeRouting -EnableOspfRouteRedistribution:$false -Confirm:$false
 
    Disable OSPF Route Redistribution without confirmation.

    .SYNOPSIS
    Creates a new route redistribution rule and adds it to the specified ESGs
    configuration.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    An NSX Edge Service Gateway provides all NSX Edge services such as firewall,
    NAT, DHCP, VPN, load balancing, and high availability. Each NSX Edge virtual
    appliance can have a total of ten uplink and internal network interfaces and
    up to 200 subinterfaces. Multiple external IP addresses can be configured
    for load balancer, site‐to‐site VPN, and NAT services.
 
    ESGs perform ipv4 and ipv6 routing functions for connected networks and
    support both static and dynamic routing via OSPF, ISIS and BGP.
 
    The New-NsxEdgeRedistributionRule cmdlet adds a new route redistribution
    rule to the configuration of the specified Edge Services Gateway.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Get-NsxEdgeRouting | New-NsxEdgeRedistributionRule -PrefixName test -Learner ospf -FromConnected -FromStatic -Action permit
 
    Create a new permit Redistribution Rule for prefix test (note, prefix must already exist, and is case sensistive) for ospf.

    .SYNOPSIS
    Removes an OSPF Interface from the specified ESGs OSPF configuration.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    An NSX Logical Router is a distributed routing function implemented within
    the ESXi kernel, and optimised for east west routing.
 
    Logical Routers perform ipv4 and ipv6 routing functions for connected
    networks and support both static and dynamic routing via OSPF and BGP.
 
    The Remove-NsxLogicalRouterOspfInterface cmdlet removes a BGP neighbour route from
    the bgp configuration of the specified LogicalRouter.
 
    Interfaces to be removed can be constructed via a PoSH pipline filter
    outputing interface objects as produced by Get-NsxLogicalRouterOspfInterface and
    passing them on the pipeline to Remove-NsxLogicalRouterOspfInterface.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Remove Interface to Area mapping for area 51 from LogicalRouter01

    grouping function that can be used in DFW Firewall Rules and the NSX
    Service Composer.
 
    This cmdlet creates a new NSX Security Group.
 
    A Security Group can consist of Static Includes and Excludes as well as
    dynamic matching properties. At this time, this cmdlet supports only static
    include/exclude members.
 
    A valid PowerCLI session is required to pass certain types of objects
    supported by the IncludeMember and ExcludeMember parameters.
 
    .EXAMPLE
 
    Example1: Create a new SG and include App01 and App02 VMs (get-vm requires a
    valid PowerCLI session)
 
    PS C:\> New-NsxSecurityGroup -Name TestSG -Description "Test creating an NSX
     SecurityGroup" -IncludeMember (get-vm app01),(get-vm app02)
 
    Example2: Create a new SG and include cluster1 except for App01 and App02
    VMs (get-vm and get-cluster requires a valid PowerCLI session)
 
    PS C:\> New-NsxSecurityGroup -Name TestSG -Description "Test creating an NSX
     SecurityGroup" -IncludeMember (get-cluster cluster1)
        -ExcludeMember (get-vm app01),(get-vm app02)

    Security Groups and Service Groups can contain members of specific types.
    Basic information about all valid (applicable) members can be retreived
    using a simple API call which is typically much less expensive than the
    alternative of retreiving the complete configuration from the API for a
    specific type of object.
 
    This cmdlet also exposes 'shortcut' functionality that lets you retreive
    object name to objectId mapping of many object types in NSX that can improve
    the performance of scripts in high scale environments.
 
    Hat tip to Dale Coghlan (sneauku.com) for pointing out the usefulness of
    this API in large scale environments. See

    .SYNOPSIS
    Removes the specified LoadBalancer Monitor.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    An NSX Edge Service Gateway provides all NSX Edge services such as firewall,
    NAT, DHCP, VPN, load balancing, and high availability.
 
    The NSX Edge load balancer enables network traffic to follow multiple paths
    to a specific destination. It distributes incoming service requests evenly
    among multiple servers in such a way that the load distribution is
    transparent to users. Load balancing thus helps in achieving optimal
    resource utilization, maximizing throughput, minimizing response time, and
    avoiding overload. NSX Edge provides load balancing up to Layer 7.
 
    Service monitors define health check parameters for a particular type of
    network traffic. When you associate a service monitor with a pool, the pool
    members are monitored according to the service monitor parameters.
 
    This cmdlet removes the specified LoadBalancer Monitor.

    .SYNOPSIS
    Retrieves LoadBalancer Pools Profiles from the specified LoadBalancer.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    An NSX Edge Service Gateway provides all NSX Edge services such as firewall,
    NAT, DHCP, VPN, load balancing, and high availability.
 
    The NSX Edge load balancer enables network traffic to follow multiple paths
    to a specific destination. It distributes incoming service requests evenly
    among multiple servers in such a way that the load distribution is
    transparent to users. Load balancing thus helps in achieving optimal
    resource utilization, maximizing throughput, minimizing response time, and
    avoiding overload. NSX Edge provides load balancing up to Layer 7.
 
    A pool manages load balancer distribution methods and has a service monitor
    attached to it for health check parameters. Each Pool has one or more
    members. Prior to creating or updating a pool to add a member, a member
    spec describing the member needs to be created.

    .SYNOPSIS
    Removes a Pool Member from the specified Load Balancer Pool.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    An NSX Edge Service Gateway provides all NSX Edge services such as firewall,
    NAT, DHCP, VPN, load balancing, and high availability.
 
    The NSX Edge load balancer enables network traffic to follow multiple paths
    to a specific destination. It distributes incoming service requests evenly
    among multiple servers in such a way that the load distribution is
    transparent to users. Load balancing thus helps in achieving optimal
    resource utilization, maximizing throughput, minimizing response time, and
    avoiding overload. NSX Edge provides load balancing up to Layer 7.
 
    A pool manages load balancer distribution methods and has a service monitor
    attached to it for health check parameters. Each Pool has one or more
    members.
 
    This cmdlet removes the specified member from the specified pool and returns
     the updated Pool.

# Extra functions - here we try to extend on the capability of the base API, rather than just exposing it...

function Get-NsxSecurityGroupEffectiveMember {

    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Determines the effective memebership of a security group.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    An NSX SecurityGroup can contain members (VMs, IP Addresses, MAC Addresses
    or interfaces) by virtue of direct, or indirect membership (nested security
    groups), and either by static or dynamic inclusion.
 
    In addition, direct or indirect exclusions can also
    modify membership.
 
    This cmdlet uses the NSX 'Translation APIs' to determine the
    'Effective Membership' of a given security group. The membership output
    by Get-NsxSecurityGroupEffectiveMember is determined by NSX itself.
 
    Note: In order for IPAddress membership to be accurate, IP Discovery
    of virtual machines must be operational (as it must for the dataplane to
    function as well.)
 
    If IPAddress membership is not accurately represented here, verify that
    an appropriate IP discovery mechanism is operational, and NSX 'detects'
    the ip addresses you are expecting. Using the Get-NsxSpoofguardNic cmdlet
    will allow visibility of the detection state of a given nic or VM.
 
    Note: Previous versions of this cmdlet included direct static inclusions
    (only) which is not useful in the context of determining 'effective
    membership' and has been removed.
 
    If you wish to know how a given SG is configured with respect to
    inclusions/exclusions, use the Get-NsxSecurityGroup cmdlet.
 
    Return properties have also been renamed to make their function clearer, and
    the cmdlet renamed to be consistent with PowerShell naming convention
    (singular).
 
    Note: In addition to this cmdlet, four individual wrapper cmdlets exist
    that allow a translation query for a specific object type (ie vms only)
    to be executed, and whose output is easier to parse for intelligent monkeys.
 
    Review Get-NsxSecurityGroupEffectiveVirtualMachine,
    Get-NsxSecurityGroupEffectiveIpAddress,
    Get-NsxSecurityGroupEffectiveMacAddress,
    Get-NsxSecurityGroupEffectiveVnic for more information.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-NsxSecurityGroup TestSG | Get-NsxSecurityGroupEffectiveMembers
 
    Retrieve the effective membership of the securitygroup testsg by passing
    the securitygroup object on the pipline.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-NsxSecurityGroupEffectiveMembers -SecurityGroupId securitygroup-1234
 
    Retrieve the effective membership of a securitygroup by passing
    the securitygroup objectid.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $testSG | Get-NsxSecurityGroupEffectiveMembers -ReturnTypes -ReturnTypes VirtualMachine, Vnic
 
    Retrieve just the VM and VNIC effective membership of the SecurityGroup stored
    in $testSG

    .SYNOPSIS
    Gets the PortGroups backing an NSX Logical Switch.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    NSX Logical switches are backed by one or more Virtual Distributed Switch
    portgroups that are the connection point in vCenter for VMs that connect to
    the logical switch.
 
    In simpler environments, a logical switch may only be backed by a single
    portgroup on a single Virtual Distributed Switch, but the scope of a logical
    switch is governed by the transport zone it is created in. The transport
    zone may span multiple vSphere clusters that have hosts that belong to
    multiple different Virtual Distributed Switches and in this situation, a
    logical switch would be backed by a unique portgroup on each Virtual
    Distributed Switch.
 
    This cmdlet requires an active and correct PowerCLI connection to the
    vCenter server that is registered to NSX. It returns PowerCLI VDPortgroup
    objects for each backing portgroup.

function Copy-NsxEdge{

    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Creates a new NSX Edge Services Gateway based on the configuration of an
    existing one.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    An NSX Edge Service Gateway provides all NSX Edge services such as firewall,
    NAT, DHCP, VPN, load balancing, and high availability. Each NSX Edge virtual
    appliance can have a total of ten uplink and internal network interfaces and
    up to 200 subinterfaces. Multiple external IP addresses can be configured
    for load balancer, site‐to‐site VPN, and NAT services.
 
    This cmdlet creates a new Nsx Edge Services Gateway based on the
    configuration of an existing one.
 
    There are numerous properties that are not possible to clone, and must be
    either configured in the call to Copy-NsxEdge (such as interface IPs), or
    will need to be manually configured on the new NSX Edge after the fact
    (such as external certificate configuration).
 
    Note that this operation does not strictly clone the Edge, internal object
    identifiers such as NAT and FW rule ids etc. will not be consistent between
    source and duplicated Edges. This is a limitation imposed by the NSX API.
 
    An attempt is made to make sensible 'fixups' to the duplicated edge to allow
    it to function as expected. Most of these fixups can be disabled with param
    switches to Copy-NsxEdge, but in some cases, this will prevent the
    duplication of certain features (for instance, disabling local object fixups
    will prevent user defined firewall rules from being configured on the
    duplicate edge.)
 
    Fixups for the following are currently in place and enabled by default:
        - Any Self Signed certificates are 'regenerated' on the duplicated edge
          Note: Externally signed certificates cannot be migrated and must be
          manually configured on the duplicated edge if required. Regenerated
          Self Signed certificates will have the fqdn of the edge as their CN.
          Alternatively, the user can specify a CN explicitly via parameter to
          Copy-NsxEdge. All certificates will have the same CN currently.
        - Any services using certificates that have been regenerated will be
          configured to use the corresponding regenerated cert.
        - Any listening services (LB VIPs, SSL VPN, IPSec VPN etc) bound to
          interface addresses will be updated to use the corresponding address
          on the duplicated edge.
        - Any NAT rules that specify a local interface address in either the
          Original Address or Translated Address field will be updated to
          specify the corresponding replacement interface address on the
          duplicated edge.
        - Any locally defined grouping objects (IPSets, Services or Service
          Groups) will be recreated on the duplicated edge. This includes
          fixups for any service groups that contain other local services or
          service groups to be updated to include their corresponding recreated
          local object on the duplicated edge.
        - Any User defined local firewall rules that reference local objects in
          source, destination or service fields are updated to reference the
          corresponding recreated local object on the duplicated edge.
        - Any IPSec Pre Shared Keys defined will be randomised. These can be
          manually updated after the fact as required.
        - If a router ID is configured on the source edge, and references an
          interface address, it is updated to reference the corresponding
          address on the duplicated edge.
 
    This is an experimental function for now and involves a lot of heavy lifting.
    Please report any limitations or issues using it via the project github page
    so it can be improved.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Copy-NsxEdge -name Edge02 -Password VMware1!VMware1!
 
    Creates a duplicated edge based on the source-edge Edge01. Any interface addresses found on Edge01 will be interactively prompted for replacement. Note that the subnet (network and mask) of each primary or secondary adderess specified must match that of the source edge, and all addresses found on the source must be updated.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    $uplink = New-NsxEdgeInterfaceSpec -Index 0 -Name Uplink -Type uplink -ConnectedTo (get-vdportgroup internal) -PrimaryAddress 192.168.100.202 -SubnetPrefixLength 24 -SecondaryAddresses 192.168.100.203,192.168.100.204,192.168.100.205
    PS C:\>$transit = New-NsxEdgeInterfaceSpec -Index 1 -Name Transit -Type internal -ConnectedTo (Get-NsxLogicalSwitch transit) -PrimaryAddress 172.16.1.11 -SubnetPrefixLength 24 -SecondaryAddresses 172.16.1.12
    PS C:\>Get-NsxEdge Edge01 | Copy-NsxEdge -name Edge02 -Password VMware1!VMware1! -Interface $Uplink,$Transit
 
    Creates two interface specs and creates a duplicated edge based on the source-edge Edge01. Note that the subnet (network and mask) of each primary or secondary adderess specified in each spec, as well as the number of addresses, and the interface indexes specified, must match that of the source edge.
