Add/Remove Routing Zone Tags

You can group and search routing zones based on tags that you apply to them. Using tags on routing zones can also enhance building dynamic configlets for VRF-based requirements.

If you'd like to apply a tag from the Design (global) catalog (Design > Tags), import it to the Blueprint catalog beforehand.

You can also create a tag directly in the Blueprint catalog before you add it to a routing zone, which also makes it available to the other taggable elements in the blueprint (nodes, links, interfaces, port channels, virtual networks, connectivity templates).

Finally, you can create a tag on the fly as you're adding it to a routing zone and it will automatically be added to the catalog as well.

To update tags on routing zones from the Routing Zones table using the GUI:
  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Virtual > Routing Zones and select one or more check boxes for the routing zone(s) that need the same tag updates. The Add/Remove Tags button above the table becomes available.
  2. Click the Add/Remove Tags button.
    The Add/Remove Tags dialog opens.
  3. Add and/or remove tags, as needed. You can create tags from here; they'll be tagged to the link and added to the blueprint catalog.

    The Add Tags drop-down list includes all tags that are in the catalog (Staged > Catalog > Tags). Enter the tag name, and if it's not in the catalog you'll get the option to add it; it will be applied to the routing zone and added to the catalog.

    The Remove Tags drop-down list includes all tags that are applied to the selected routing zone(s). Select tag(s) from the list to remove them. (If no tags are applied, the drop-down list isn't shown in the dialog.)

  4. Click Add/Remove Tags.
The updates are staged and you're returned to the Virtual Networks table.

When you're ready to activate your changes, go to the Uncommitted tab to review and commit (or discard) your changes.

When you need to find something based on tags, you can search routing zones with the Search button above the table, or for a wider search, use the Search field at the top of the Staged tab or the Find by tags button in the upper-right.
