      .PARAMETER Session
      Specify an UnitySession Object.
      .PARAMETER ipAddress
      IPv4 or IPv6 address for the interface.
      .PARAMETER netmask
      IPv4 netmask for the interface, if the interface uses an IPv4 address.
      .PARAMETER v6PrefixLength
      Prefix length in bits for IPv6 address.
      .PARAMETER gateway
      IPv4 or IPv6 gateway address for the interface.
      .PARAMETER Confirm
      If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false, the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation.
      .PARAMETER WhatIf
      Indicate that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are modified.
      .EXAMPLE
      New-UnityMgmtInterface -ipAddress '192.168.0.1' -netmask '255.255.255.0' -gateway '192.168.0.254'
