# Consul Intention Create
-> **Deprecated** - This command is deprecated in Consul 1.9.0 in favor of
using the [config entry CLI command](/commands/config/write). To create an
intention, create or modify a
[`service-intentions`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-intentions) config
entry for the destination.
Command: `consul intention create`
The `intention create` command creates or updates an L4 intention.
## Usage
- `consul intention create [options] SRC DST`
- `consul intention create [options] -file FILE...`
`SRC` and `DST` can both take [several forms](/commands/intention#source-and-destination-naming).
