get_vlan_details.rb

# Retrieves VLAN details such as primary router and subnet.
#
# Retrieves the primary router and subnet for a determinate VLAN
# associated with a SoftLayer customer account
# We do this with a call to the getObject() method in the
# SoftLayer_Network_Vlan API service using an object mask to retrieve
# associated subnets and primary router records. See below for more details.
