How do I perform a mass deployment discovery from an intent type?

Purpose

Use this procedure to associate a logical template to NFM-P managed brownfield devices in the network.

This procedure allows you to associate a template based on the intent type to all classic devices at one time. To associate the template to selected targets or target identifiers instead of the entire network, see How do I perform a mass deployment discovery from a template?.

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

Note: Performing a mass deployment discovery on more than 5 000 deployments may result in some deployments in Association Failed status. You can retry the failed associations from the Configuration Deployments view, or using the API.
