Add/Remove Interface Tags (Datacenter)

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

Update Tags on One Interface (Topology Neighbors View)

To update tags on a single interface from the Topology Neighbors view using the GUI:
  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and select the leaf with the interface to tag. In our example, we've selected leaf3.
    Network management interface showing physical topology with spine and leaf switches, servers, links, and nodes. The Physical tab and Topology sub-tab are selected.
    The topology selection view appears.
  2. From the Neighbors view (default view), select the interface check box to see the operations available for that interface (and that you have permissions for).
    Network management interface topology view showing node leaf3 selected within rack evpn_single_001 connected to spine1, spine2, and switch3-server1. Interface xe-0/0/2 is selected with options like Form LAG, Update LAG mode, and more. Indication of uncommitted changes present.
  3. Click Edit interface tags.
    The Add/Remove Tags dialog opens.
  4. 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.
    User interface for managing tags, including a field to enter new tag names, a button to add examples, boxes for existing tags with delete options, a message indicating no tags are assigned, a table listing affected items, and a button to confirm tag actions.
  5. Click Add/Remove Tags.
The updates are staged and you're returned to the Topology Selection view.

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

Update Tags on One Interface (Interfaces Table)

To update tags on a single interface from the Interfaces table using the GUI:
  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Interfaces and select the interface name (not the check box) for the interface that needs updated tags.
    User interface of a network management tool showing tabs like Dashboard and Analytics, navigation menu with options like Physical and Virtual, and selected Interfaces tab displaying details for interface ae1 including System Node leaf1, Link evpn_esi_001_leaf_pair1, Type Port Channel, Operation State Up, LAG Mode LACP Active, and no assigned IP addresses. Filters and pagination are available, and a yellow icon indicates uncommitted changes.
    The interface selection view appears, including tag information in the right Selection panel.
  2. Click Add / Remove Tags in the panel.
    User interface showing network interface ae1 on node leaf1 with link evpn_esi_001_leaf_pair1 to evpn_esi_001_sys001 dual-link. Type is port channel, state is up in green, LAG mode is LACP active, description is to.rack1-server1. No tags assigned, option to add or remove tags, uncommitted changes indicated, selection mode active, build option available.
    The Update Tags dialog opens.

    User interface for managing tags with options to update, create, or delete tags.
  4. Click Update Tags.
The updates are staged and you're returned to the interface selection view.

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

Update Tags on One or More Interfaces (Topology Interfaces View)

To update tags on one or more interfaces from the Topology Interfaces view using the GUI:
  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and select the leaf with the interface to tag. In our example, we've selected leaf3.
    Network management interface showing physical topology with spine and leaf switches, servers, links, and nodes. The Physical tab and Topology sub-tab are selected.
  2. Click Interfaces view, then select one or more check boxes for the interface(s) that need updated tags.The Add/Remove Tags button appears above the table.
    Network management interface showing details for node leaf3 in rack evpn_single_001 with interfaces xe-0/0/0 and xe-0/0/1 selected. Add/Remove Tags button highlighted. Interface details include name, node, link, type, operational state, LAG mode, IPv4 address, and IPv6 status.
  3. Click Add/Remove Tags button.

  5. Click Add/Remove Tags.
The updates are staged and you're returned to the Interface Selection view.

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

Update Tags on One or More Interfaces (Interfaces Table)

To update tags on one or more interfaces from the Interfaces table using the GUI:
  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Interfaces, select one or more check boxes for the interface(s) that need updated tags. The Add/Remove Tags button appears above the table.
    Network management dashboard showing staged physical configurations for interfaces. A table lists interface details like name, system node, link, type, operational state, LAG mode, IPv4 address, and IPv6 status. Two interfaces are selected.
