  • Create: This action MUST be used to create a new dial-up or VPN connection. If a connection with the same name exists, then it MUST NOT be modified.

  • Delete: This action MUST be used to remove a dial-up or VPN connection with the same name. The protocol MUST perform no action if the connection does not exist.

  • Replace: This action MUST be used to delete and re-create the dial-up or virtual private connection. The net result of the Replace action MUST be to overwrite all existing settings associated with the connection.
