Describes the principles of device tagging and outlines applicable restrictions.


Device tags are labels that

  • help you group, describe, and locate devices more effectively, and

  • enable adding devices to configuration groups using tag-based rules.

    For information about creating rules, refer to the information about adding devices to a configuration group using rules, in Using Configuration Groups in the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Configuration Groups Reference Guide.

You can assign multiple tags to a single device.

Single-tenant and multitenant support

You can use device tagging in both the single-tenant and multitenant deployments.
