Tags

Select

Tags

to create a tag, assign a color or to delete, rename, and clone tags. Each object can have up to 64 tags; when an object has multiple tags, it displays the color of the first tag applied.

On the firewall, the

Tags

tab displays the tags that you define locally on the firewall or push from Panorama to the firewall. On Panorama, the

Tags

tab displays the tags that you define on Panorama. This tab does not display the tags that are dynamically retrieved from the VM Information sources defined on the firewall for forming dynamic address groups nor does it display tags that are defined using the XML or REST API.

When you create a new tag, the tag is automatically created in the Virtual System or Device Group that is currently selected on the firewall or Panorama.

Tag Settings	Description
Name	Enter a unique tag name (up to 127 characters). The name is not case-sensitive.
Shared	Select this option if you want the tag to be available to: Every virtual system (vsys) on a multi-vsys firewall. If you clear this selection, the tag is available only to the Virtual System selected in the Objects tab. Every device group on Panorama. If you disable (clear) this option, the tag will be available only to the Device Group selected in the Objects tab.
Disable override (`Panorama only`)	Select this option to prevent administrators from overriding the settings of this tag in device groups that inherit the tag. This selection is cleared by default, which means administrators can override the settings for any device group that inherits the tag.

Comments	Add a label or description to describe for what the tag is used.
