Manage Devices and Airwall Edge Services
Set up tags, groups, and Smart Device Groups to help you manage the devices connected to your Airwall secure network.
Managing devices dynamically with Smart Device Groups
Use Smart Device Groups to simplify the creation and management of large groups of devices. Dynamically add devices to a group by defining rules to create a Smart Device Group. Rules can match criteria such as organizational hierarchy, geographic location, or network domain. When you create a Smart Device Group, any new devices that match the rules you defined are added to the group automatically.
Best Practices for Smart Device Groups
Create easy-to-use, effective Smart Device Groups by following these recommendations to ensure your rules are constructed properly.
Negation is more costly on system performance
If you negate a rule type, the Conductor requires extra processing for every device in a device set. If you choose to use negation in your Device Match Rules (DMRs), consider creating a separate Smart Device Group that stores the result of the negation rule. You can then use this separate group in multiple Device Group Rules with increased system performance.
