Create custom internet key exchange (IKE) Profile (Deprecated)

Create custom internet key exchange (IKE) Profile. IKE Profile is a reusable profile that captures IKE and phase one negotiation parameters. System will be pre provisioned with system owned non editable default IKE profile and suggested set of profiles that can be used for peering with popular remote peers like AWS VPN. User can create custom profiles as needed. Any change in profile affects all sessions consuming this profile. Deprecated:
Please use below Policy API.
