Unified Device Tags

Unified Device Tags

Device tags are used to form device groups with the purpose of applying configurations and performing upgrades. Prior release version 23.2, separate tags were created and managed for FortiAPs and FortiSwitches. The unified device tags can be created and applied across devices (FortiAPs and FortiSwitches).

In the main menu, navigate to Network Level > Configuration > Device Tags and click Add to create a new tag. Select any existing tags to perform the Edit or Delete operations.

Select the FortiSwitches and FortiAPs to assign the device tag.

Notes:

  • The displayed count for device tags not assigned to any FortiSwitch/FortiAP is 1.

  • The existing functions of assigning tags to FortiAPS and FortiSwitches are done at the device level.
