Adding MAC-based addresses to devices

Assets detected by device detection appear in the Device Inventory widget. You can manage policies around devices by adding a new device object (MAC-based address) to a device. Once you add the MAC-based address, the device can be used in address groups or directly in policies.

To add a MAC-based address to a device:

1. Go to Dashboard > Users & Devices.

   If you are using the Comprehensive dashboard template, go to Dashboard > Device Inventory Monitor.

2. Hover over the Device Inventory widget, and click Expand to Full Screen. The Device Inventory monitor is displayed.
3. Click a device, then click Firewall Device Address. The New Address dialog is displayed.

   

4. In the Name field, give the device a descriptive name so that it is easy to in the Device column.
5. Configure the MAC Address.

   

6. Click OK, then refresh the page. The MAC address icon appears in the Address column next to the device name.
