Import intent types into Service Management

Purpose

Use this procedure to import the intent types you obtained in Install the required artifact bundles to the Service Management views. This procedure is based on the procedure for importing an intent type into Service Management in the NSP Service Management Guide.

For example, the reference procedure in NSP Release 23.11 is How do I import an intent type into Service Management?.

Note: This procedure is not required in NSP 25.4 or later because intent types for Service Management will import directly into Service Management during artifact bundle installation.

The intent types required are tunnel and cpipe.

Steps
 
1 

Log in to the NSP as the Service Management user.

2 

From the Service Management, Intent Type Catalogue view, click IMPORT.

A list of previously-defined intent types is displayed.

Note: Only intent types that have the Service Fulfillment label applied will be available to import. Intent types to be used for tunnel template creation must also have the Tunnel label applied.

Note: For a restricted user to be allowed to import intent types, they must have appropriate permissions configured for those intent types in Network Intents; see How do I configure user access to an intent type? in the NSP Network Automation Guide.

3 

Select the check boxes in-line with the intent types you wish to import and click IMPORT.

The intent types to import are:

  • tunnel

  • cpipe

The intent types are imported into service management. This may take a few minutes.

Note: Selecting an imported intent type from the list opens the Info panel, which displays historical information such as the last time the intent type was updated, the last time it was imported, and the last time the modules that compose the intent type were revised.
