Intent-Based Networking (IBN) lets admins define network goals in plain business terms, rather than manual configs. cisco You state desired outcomes like "secure 10 Gbps link between sites A and B." A central controller translates this "intent" into policies and applies them automatically. noction
How It Works
Built on SDN with AI/ML, IBN follows three steps: intent translation to policies, automated activation, and ongoing assurance via real-time monitoring. It detects drifts from the desired state and self-corrects. This closed loop boosts reliability without CLI scripting. blogs.juniper
