Tag management
Tag management provide a method of categorizing, or labelling objects within FortiOS using keywords. You can give the following elements a “tag”, similar to a keyword:
• IPS signature
• application signature
• security policy
• firewall address
Tagging is way to organize the various elements, especially if you have a large number of addresses, security policies to manage and keep track of. Tagging enables you to break these elements into groups, but each element can belong to more than one group. Tags help you find elements which have something in common, be it a group, user or location. This is very similar to tagging found on photo sharing sites.
To use tagging, you need to enable it for 1U FortiGate units. It is enabled by default on all 2U FortiGate units and blades.
To enable tagging - web-based manager
1. Go to System > Admin > Settings.
2. Select Object Tagging and Coloring.
3. Select Apply.
To enable tagging - CLI
config system global
set gui-object-tags enable
end
