      .PARAMETER ipAddress
      IPv4 or IPv6 address for the iSCSI Network Portal.
      .PARAMETER netmask
      IPv4 netmask for the iSCSI Network Portal, if the iSCSI Network Portal uses an IPv4 address.
      .PARAMETER v6PrefixLength
      Prefix length in bits for IPv6 address.
      .PARAMETER gateway
      IPv4 or IPv6 gateway address for the iSCSI Network Portal.
      .PARAMETER vlanId
      Ethernet virtual LAN identifier used for tagging iSCSI portal outgoing packets and for filtering iSCSI portal incoming packets.
