Install NIT to Probe

Network Intent Templates can be installed to probes for diagnosis automation by following the steps listed below:

  1. Go to Preventive Automation Manager and select the Triggered Intent Template tab.
  2. Click +Install Intent Template to select an intent template.
  3. Click OK to open the window Configure Preventive Automation for Intent Template.
  4. Select the triggering probe, either in batch or a specific one, using the following two ways:
    1. Batch add probes - You can select the probes based on intent devices. Search and select the probes from the drop-down list, then click Add to add the probes.
    2. Add specific probe - You can add any probe in the domain. Click +Add, then select the probe from the list.
  5. Define an input device to clone seed intent using the following options:
    • Probe Device Only – Only the probe devices will be used to clone NI.
    • Probe Device & Related Device from System Data – The probe device and its related devices from system data will be used to clone NI. You can select the system data from the drop-down list.
      For eg: If Same VLAN Group is selected, the probe devices and the devices in the same VLAN group with the probe devices will be used to generate cloned NI.
