Associating Tags to Devices and Tagging Device Configuration Files

After a tag is created, the JUNOScope administrator must associate it with devices with archived configurations in the JUNOScope CVS repository. The administrator can select devices that have archived configurations to tag, view all the configurations of each selected device, then assign a tag or untag iteratively. The administrator can also assign a tag to the Head Revision (latest) in the repository for all devices selected.

Note: You cannot associate an archive tag to a device configuration unless the tag name meets the rules described in Adding an Archived Configuration Tag.

To associate and tag device configurations, follow these steps:

1. In the JUNOScope main window, click Configuration > Repository > Archive Tags. The Archive Tags dialog box appears.
2. Click the Set Archive Tag action link for the tag that you want to associate with devices. The Associate Archive Tags with Devices dialog box appears.
3. Select a device or devices and move them into the Selected Devices to Tag/Untag list box using the buttons in the Add/Remove column.
4. Click one of the command buttons at the bottom of the dialog box to do the following:
   • View/Tag/Untag Selected Devices—View all configuration revisions for each selected device in the Selected Devices to Tag/Untag list box, select a configuration revision and tag or untag configuration revisions for each device iteratively. Skip to step 5.
   • Tag All Head Revisions—Assign a tag to the head revision (latest) in the repository for all selected devices in the Selected Devices to Tag/Untag list box. If an existing tag is added to the head revision (latest) of a device, the tag is automatically removed from the old revision. If you click Tag All Head Revisions, the message Successfully tagged head revision of selected devices appears in the Associate Archive Tags with Devices dialog box after all the head revisions are tagged.
   • Untag All—Untag all the configuration revisions for all selected devices in the Selected Devices to Tag/Untag list box. If you click Untag All the message Successfully untagged selected devices appears after all the configuration revisions for the selected devices are untagged.
   • Finish—Save any changes made and return to the Archive Tags dialog box.
5. If you click View/Tag/Untag Selected Devices, the Tag or Untag configuration revisions dialog box appears.
6. Select an archived configuration revision and click one of the command buttons at the bottom of the dialog box to do the following:
   • Tag—Apply the tag to the configuration revision selected.
   • UnTag Master—Remove the tag from the configuration revision selected if the tag has already been associated with the configuration revision.
   • Next Device—Display the Tag or Untag Configuration Revisions dialog box for the next device when you are tagging configuration revisions of multiple devices iteratively. You can tag configuration revisions of multiple devices iteratively using this command button.
   • Previous Device—Display the Tag or Untag Configuration Revisions dialog box for the previous device when you are tagging configuration revisions of multiple devices iteratively.
   • Compare—Compare two selected configuration revisions.
   • Finish—Save any changes made and return to the Associate Archive Tags with Devices dialog box.
7. Click Finish after you tag or untag configuration revisions to return to the Associate Archive Tags with Devices dialog box.
