    uri               : /vlans/85
    vlan_id           : 85
    name              : PowerArubaSW
    status            : VS_PORT_BASED
    type              : VT_STATIC
    is_voice_enabled  : True
    is_jumbo_enabled  : False
    is_dsnoop_enabled : False


# Get information about vlan
    Get-ArubaSWVlans -name PowerArubaSW | ft

    uri       vlan_id name         status        type      is_voice_enabled is_jumbo_enabled is_dsnoop_enabled is_management_vlan
    ---       ------- ----         ------        ----      ---------------- ---------------- ----------------- ------------------
    /vlans/85      85 PowerArubaSW VS_PORT_BASED VT_STATIC            True             False             False              False
