About the Tunnel Profiles Tab

To access the Tunnel Profiles tab, click Network Optimization > Network > Network Optimization Intent.

On this tab, you can create tunnel profiles, view the status (Published or Draft) and the number of intents linked to the tunnel profile.

Unlike traditional methods where each tunnel must be provisioned individually with all its attributes configured from scratch, tunnel profiles define the specific attributes of the LSPs (tunnels) or segment routing policies, which can be later used to create path intents. This modular approach reduces redundancy and streamlines the process of provisioning multiple tunnels.

For more information, see Network Optimization Overview and About the Network Optimization Intent Page.
