Usage Guidelines
Issue this command to create a VIA connection profile. A VIA connection profile contains settings required by
VIA to establish a secure connection to the controller. You can configure multiple VIA connection profiles. A
VIA connection profile is always associated to a user role and all users belonging to that role uses the configured
settings. If you do not assign a VIA connection profile to a user role, the default connection profile is used.
