Add/Remove Virtual Network Tags

You can group and search virtual networks based on tags that you apply to them. Using tags on virtual networks can also enhance building dynamic configlets for virtual networks-based requirements (for example, virtual network QoS or determining what virtual networks could be available for route leaking).

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 virtual network, which also makes it available to the other taggable elements in the blueprint (nodes, links, interfaces, port channels, , connectivity templates, routing zones).

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

To update tags on virtual networks from the Virtual Networks table using the GUI:
  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Virtual > Virtual Networks and select one or more check boxes for the virtual networks(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 selected virtual network and added to the catalog.

    The Remove Tags drop-down list includes all tags that are applied to the virtual network(s). Select tag(s) from the list to remove them.

  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 virtual networks 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.
