Learn how to use Security Cloud Control Firewall Management labels to group devices and objects, create label groups, and filter device or object tables by assigned labels.

Labels are used for grouping devices or objects. You can apply labels to one or more devices during onboarding or any time after onboarding. You can apply labels to objects after creating them. Once you apply labels to devices and objects, you can filter the contents of the device table or objects table using the corresponding label.

Note

A label that is applied to a device is not extended to its associated objects, and a label applied to a shared object is not extended to its associated objects.

You can create a label group by using the syntax group name:label, for example, Region:East or Region:West. If you create these two labels, the group label would be Region and you could choose from East or West in that group.

Apply Labels to Devices and Objects

To apply a label to devices, perform these steps:

Procedure

1.

In the left pane, click Security Devices.
2.

In the left pane, click Objects.
3.

Click the Devices tab to locate a device or the Templates tab to locate the model device.
4.

Click the appropriate device type tab.
5.

Select one or more devices.
6.

In the Add Groups and Labels field on the right, specify a label for the devices.
7.

Click the icon.

Filters on security devices, policies, and objects page

Use filters on the Security Devices, Policies, and Objects pages to find devices and objects. To filter, select the filter icon in the left pane.

On the Security Devices page, the filter panel lets you filter devices by criteria such as device type, hardware version, software version, Snort version, configuration status, connection state, conflict detection, Secure Device Connector, and labels. You can apply filters within the selected device type tab.

When the FTD tab is open, the filter panel also lets you filter FTD devices by the management application that Security Cloud Control uses to access them.

To filter, click in the left-hand pane of the Security Devices, Policies, and Objects tabs.

Note

When the FTD tab is opened, the filter pane provides filters to show FDM-managed devices based on the management application through which the devices are accessed from Security Cloud Control.

  • FDM: Devices managed using FTD API or Firewall Device Manager.

  • FMC-FTD: Devices managed using Firepower Management Center.

  • FTD: Devices managed using FTD Management.
