You could just create multiple connection profiles, like "provA" and
"provB".  Then to switch A->B would be "nmcli con down provA; nmcli con
up provB".  You'd only want one to autoconnect though, so maybe:

   nmcli con down provA
   nmcli con mod provA autoconnect 0
   nmcli con up provB
   nmcli con mod provB autoconnect 1

Or you could even get fancier with a script that would check the
currently active and switch to the other one.
