You can define a Path Intent to document the baseline behavior and diagnosis logic for a specific network path. This helps you automate troubleshooting and quickly identify issues when they occur.

Each path can have one or more associated intents. Once defined, a Path Intent can be:

• Triggered automatically by the Trigger Automation Framework (TAF) or Auto Intent

• Executed manually when needed

The built-in Path Intent is stored directly in the path object and used as a reference for automated diagnosis.

The system provides several methods to create a Path Intent.

• Create a Path Intent via Intent Template 
  
• Create a Path Intent via Auto Intent
  
• Copy an Existing Intent
