Intent-Based Networking

Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is a modern approach to managing networks that focuses on what users want to achieve rather than how to configure network devices. Instead of manually setting up devices, network administrators define high-level goals or "intent," such as improving security or performance. The IBN system automatically translates these intentions into specific configurations and actions across the network. This automation simplifies operations, reduces errors, and allows for more efficient network management, adapting dynamically to changes and ensuring that the network consistently meets the desired outcomes.
