Define Replication Logic

An intent is always associated with one or multiple devices. The intent diagnosis can be replicated to a set of target devices using replication settings, this scalable way is easy to do. To access and define the replication logic:

  1. Open an intent and switch to Edit mode.
  2. Click Replication Settings to open the corresponding window. Alternatively, you can choose it from the  menu. 
  3. By default, the window will open in the Intent Replication Logic Settings tab. The settings are organized into the following categories:

    1. Intent Replication Logic Settings: Define the replicated intent name, target device qualification, and command qualification.
    2. Advanced Settings: Specify critical variables, device macro variables, signature variables, and other matching settings between the seed and target devices.
    3. Test Replication: It allows you to select a batch of devices and perform test operations.
    4. The settings in these three sections are detailed in the following topics. Refer to them in sequence and create an NIT:

      1. Intent Replication Logic Settings
      2. Advanced Settings
      3. Test Replication
