Abstract
Techniques for determining that a configuration change in configurations for a network device has occurred to result in changed configurations for the network device. The techniques include creating a policy for the network device by a network controller that manages one or more network devices. The network controller may obtain data from the network device, and update the network device policy based on the obtained data. In some examples, the network controller may compare the network device configurations state with the network controller intent to determine if an Out-of-Band (OOB) configuration change has occurred in the configuration of the network device. Finally, the controller may synchronize the network device to the controller based on the updated policy.
