Policy Object: Devices
| Where Can I Use This? | What Do I Need? |
|---|---|
|
Also known as the Device Dictionary, the Devices page contains metadata for device objects.
Review information for existing device objects or add new device objects. Using device
objects as match criteria in Security policy allows you to create device-based policy,
where the Security policy is dynamically updated and applied to new and existing
devices. Palo Alto Networks updates the Device Dictionary via dynamic updates.
To configure this and any other Object settings, go to:
- ManageConfigurationNGFW and Prisma AccessObjects on Cloud Managed deployments, and select the object you want to configure.
- Objects on PAN-OS and Panorama Managed deployments, and select the object you want to configure from the panel on the left.
