Change a device's name in Security Cloud Control Firewall Management

Change device names to improve organization and identification in your inventory without affecting the actual device configuration.

All devices, models, templates, and services are given a name when they are onboarded or created in Security Cloud Control Firewall Management. You can change that name without changing the configuration of the device itself.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Security Devices.

Step 2

Click the Device tab to locate the device.

Step 3

Select the device whose name it is you want to change.

Step 4

Above the Device Details pane, click the edit button next to the device's name.

The device's name is updated in the inventory while its Configuration Status remains Synced, indicating no changes to the device itself.

Step 5

Enter the new name in the field and click the blue check button.

No change is made to the device itself, so the device's Configuration Status will continue to show that it is Synced.

The device appears with its new name in your inventory, while maintaining its synchronized configuration status.
