Examples
Example 1: List every Network
PS> Get-XenNetwork
Retrieves every Network object in the pool. With no parameters the cmdlet fetches the whole collection.
Example 2: Retrieve one Network by name
PS> Get-XenNetwork -Name "Demo Network"
Retrieves a single Network. -Name matches on name\_label, which is not unique, so every match is operated on.
Example 3: Retrieve one Network by uuid
PS> Get-XenNetwork -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff
Retrieves a single Network. -Uuid is the way to be sure of exactly one object.
