Execute a Network Intent from Intent View Mode

When you open a map, you can browse all NIs related to this map's devices in the NI pane. Open an NI to view the design and diagnosis note, and run this NI to verify the current intent status.

1. In the NI View Mode, click Run to execute the intent with the default data source directly or click Live Network to define the data source and execution mode.
   
   

   Note: You can also click the  icon, then select Run Settings to define the data source.

2. Define the run settings.
   1. Select Live Network or Current Baseline as the data source.

      Note: if some device data cannot be retrieved by live access, you can set the data source at runtime for each command section independently in the Edit Mode.

   2. Select Common Mode or Debug Mode as the execution mode.
   3. Set the max depths and follow-up intent count.
   4. Click OK.
