> When used from Global Configuration mode, creates a profile. Use profiles to configure interfaces dynamically, which enables you to manage a large number of interfaces effectively. The no version removes the profile.

> When used from Interface Configuration mode and Subinterface Configuration mode, assigns a profile to an interface. Use profiles to configure interfaces dynamically, which enables you to manage a large number of interfaces effectively. The no version removes the profile assigned to the interface.
