Managing network profiles

Let's see how to manage network profiles in the vRA environment. We will start this discussion with the procedure on how to get a list of network profiles.

For this, we need to query the https://$host/iaas-proxy-provider/api/network/profiles URL and the method we need to use is Get. We can bring everything together and get the information by running the following command.

PS C:\> Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "https://vra.lab.com/iaas-
proxy-provider/api/network/profiles" -Headers $headers | ConvertTo-
Json
