Note:
- STIG intents are supported for the following devices only:
- Cisco ASA, Cisco ASR 1000, Cisco Catalyst, Cisco ISR 4000, and Cisco Nexus
- Palo Alto
- The STP Path Cost Method Inconsistency intent is supported only for Cisco Catalyst and Cisco Nexus devices.
- If a device is configured with port channel sub interfaces (that are associated with different VLANs), or configured with port mode and allowed VLANs that are configured at the port channel level, such configurations are considered while performing intent analysis for the following devices only:
- Arista switches
- Dell EMC PowerSwitch S5200 (running on OS10)
