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.
Creating a Smart Device Group
You create a device group and then give it an ordered list of Device Match Rules to determine which discovered devices to add to your device group. When the Conductor discovers a new device, it checks the rules for all Smart Device Groups. If the device matches all of the Device Match Rules successfully, the Conductor adds it to that group. See content/topics/sdg_bp_overview.html.

Rule operators

The following operators are available while editing rules:


Operator	Description
+ include	Adds devices to the group that match this rule. Example: include CIDR 10.0.0.0/8 Result: Include any devices with an IP address between 10.0.0.0 and 10.255.255.255.
~ filter	Filter the previous rule's results to only devices that match this rule as well. This operator is equivalent to intersect in set theory. Example: include Airwall Campus-West filter Range 10.0.0.100 10.0.0.106 Result: Include devices in the group that are behind the Airwall Gateway Campus-West and have an IP address between 10.0.0.100 and 10.0.0.106.
- exclude	Removes devices that match this rule from devices added to the group by previous rules. Example: exclude Device Group Instructors Result: Exclude any devices that belong to the Instructors group.
