Device labels in Strata Cloud Manager provide a powerful and flexible way to automate and streamline NGFW onboarding and management processes. You can use labels to group devices based on common characteristics, enabling more efficient configuration and software update management. This feature enhances:
  • Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) - by allowing you to assign labels during bootstrap, facilitating automated provisioning and near-zero touch onboarding of devices.
  • Standard Device Onboarding - by enabling you to create label-based onboarding rules, ensuring the correct configuration is applied to the right NGFWs.
  • Software Updates - by simplifying the process of managing multiple devices across distributed environments and being able to group NGFWs by software version.
By implementing device labels, you can reduce manual coordination, minimize human errors, and accelerate remote site onboarding. To start managing your devices using Device Labels, go to WorkflowsNGFW SetupDevice OnboardingDevice Labels.
