Add/Remove Link Tags (Datacenter)

You can add tags to links in a few different ways and use them for configuration.

Update Tags on One Link (Topology Neighbors View)

To update tags on a single link from the topology neighbors view using the GUI:
  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and select the node connected to the link that needs updated tags. In our example, we've selected leaf3.
    Network management interface with topology view showing nodes and devices. Tabs for Dashboard, Analytics, and network states. Spine and leaf switches with connected servers. Options for physical and virtual management.
    The topology selection view appears.
  2. From the Neighbors view (default view), select the interface check box to see the operations available for that link (and that you have permissions for).

Red text highlights checkbox function. Yellow indicator for uncommitted changes.
