Node Tag Assignment

Tags are administrator-assigned labels applied to nodes (MAC+IP) or devices (MAC), and you can manage these labels directly.

One or more tags can be applied to a node or device. Tags can be automatically applied through the log search filter function or used as node group conditions.

Node tags are applied to MAC+IP address pairs. They are suitable for tracking policies or applying policies to a single IP address used by a specific MAC address. Since node tags are applied to MAC+IP, tags do not follow the device when the IP changes due to static IP, IP changes caused by DHCP, or network changes on the endpoint. The changed IP address + MAC address is considered a new node.

Conversely, MAC tags are applied to all nodes with a specific MAC address. Therefore, MAC tags are appropriate for use with endpoints using DHCP or devices and mobile devices whose IPs change regularly.

  • When specific audit logs occur for nodes, devices, or users, utilize search filters to automatically set tags on nodes and link them to policy application using tags.
  • Policies that can utilize tags: Node Policy, Enforcement Policy, Device Control, IP Management
