Palo Alto Networks LIVEcommunity provides some tips and tricks about how to use color coded tags for your security policies in the firewall web interface. See how color coded tags can help you with your security policies.

 

Wether you are a seasoned security expert or a newcomer to the security field, color coded tags may be something that you're missing in your security policy. 

 

Have your ever gotten lost in the zones or address objects when trying to look through your security policy rulebase?

This can be a pain, not to mention frustrating, when trying to find a rule. Well, here's some good news! I am here to tell you all about Color Coded Tags. With color coded Tags, you can now have the ability to colorize your security policy.

 

You can use color codes for the following: 

  • Objects > Address
  • Objects > Address Groups
  • Objects > Services
  • Objects > Service Groups
  • Network > Zones 

 

Now, let's take a look at a security policy after you have applied color coded tags. I've applied some color coded tags to policies inside the columns for Tags, Zone, Address, and Service.
