Manage Device-ID

Update your policy rule recommendation whenever the
New Updates Available
column displays
Yes
for that recommendation.
As devices gain new capabilities, IoT Security updates the policy rule recommendations to advise what additional traffic or protocols the firewall or Panorama should allow. Check IoT Security daily for updates and update your policy rule recommendations as soon as possible.
On the IoT Security app,
Edit
the policy rules then click
Next
.
Select the new recommendation then click
Next
.
Save
your changes.
On the firewall or Panorama, click
Import Policy Rules
then click
Yes
to confirm that you want to overwrite the current rule.
This action overwrites the recommendation for the rule, not the rule itself.
(
Panorama only
) Repeat the previous step for all device groups.

Review, update, and maintain the device objects in the Device Dictionary.
You must create device objects for any devices that do not have an IoT Security policy rule recommendation. For example, you cannot secure traditional IT devices such as laptops and smartphones using IoT Security policy rule recommendations, so you must create device objects for these types of devices and use them in your Security policy to secure these devices.
Select
Objects
Devices
.
Add
a device object.
Browse
the list or
Search
using keywords.
The search results can include multiple types of device object attributes (for example, both
Category
and
Profile
).
To add a custom device object, enter a
Name
and optionally a
Description
for the device object.
Always use a unique name for each device object. Do not change the tags in the description for device objects from policy rule recommendations.
(
Panorama only
) Select the
Shared
option to make this device object available to other device groups.
Select the attributes for the device object (
Category
,
OS
,
Profile
,
Osfamily
,
Model
, and
Vendor
).
Click
OK
to confirm your changes.
In some cases (for example, if you restore a previous configuration), the policy rule recommendation-to-policy rule mappings may become out of sync. You must also sync the mappings on each firewall after you push the policy rules from Panorama to the firewalls that Panorama manages. To sync the mappings:
On the firewall, select
Device
Policy Recommendation
IoT
Sync Policy Rules
For Panorama, select
Panorama
Policy Recommendation
IoT
Sync Policy Rules
.
The firewall or Panorama scans all of the rules in the rulebase to check for tags that identify a rule as an IoT Security policy rule recommendation, obtains the source device object information, and repopulates the local policy rule recommendation database.
Delete any policy rule recommendations that are no longer needed.
If a policy rule recommendation no longer applies, you can remove the policy rule recommendation. You must also remove the rule for the policy rule recommendation to enforce the updated Security policy.
On the IoT Security app, select
Delete
.
Click
Mark as Removed
to select this recommendation for removal.
Remove the mapping.
On the firewall, select
Device
Policy Recommendation
IoT
Remove Policy Mapping
.
For Panorama, select
Device
Policy Recommendation
IoT
Remove Policy Mapping
then select the
Location
from which you want to remove the mapping.
Click
Yes
to confirm the mapping removal.
Select
Policies
Security
. For Panorama, select
Policies
Security
Pre-Rules/Post-Rules
.
Select the rule for the policy rule recommendation you want to remove then select
Delete
.
Commit

Use CLI commands to troubleshoot any issues between the firewall and IoT Security.
