Conref - Device Context Segments Task Steps

Reusable task steps for Device Context Segments documentation, shared between the Advanced Device-ID book and the Device Security administration book.
  1. In Device Security, select NetworksNetwork Segments.
  2. Review the existing network segments and the firewalls assigned to each one so that you can recreate the equivalent assignments on your firewalls.
  3. Initiate the migration to device context segments and confirm when Device Security prompts you.
    After you confirm, existing segments appear as Panorama-managed on the Network Segments page, and any new device context segments must be added through your firewall. You can still create network segments in Device Security.
  4. Choose whether to preserve or clean up the devices that Device Security already learned from the affected firewalls in the migrated segments.
    If a firewall is removed from a segment during your migration configuration, Device Security prompts you to clean up the segment. If you clean up the data, then Device Security relearns devices when it sees the device traffic under the new segment assignments. If you don't clean up the segment, then Device Security preserves the devices previously learned by the segment and continues to display them in the Assets Inventory. Select View Detail and confirm the Cleanup Network Segment dialog to remove devices previously discovered by the reassigned firewalls.
