What is mass deployment discovery?

Large-scale brownfield association

You can perform a mass deployment discovery to associate multiple logical network objects for multiple classic NEs in a brownfield scenario.

Devices must be discovered and managed by NFM-P.

A mass deployment discovery can be initiated from a logical intent type, or from a logical template.

If the operation is initiated from the intent type, a template based on the selected intent type is associated to the entire network. For example, all egress QoS policies on classic NEs are discovered by NSP and marked aligned or misaligned against the same template. If the operation is initiated from the template, you can select specific NEs and/or targets to associate to the template. For example, if you have two templates for egress QoS policies, you can associate each template to the NEs or policies that align with that template.

The full-class-name parameter must be configured in the intent type icm_descriptor file; see Descriptor resource file.
