Grouping CPE devices using tags

Tags describe CPE device settings such as model, firmware version, and location address. When you add a CPE device, tags are automatically assigned to it, describing its model and tenant to which the CPE device was added.

You can use tags to group CPE devices and perform actions on groups. For example, you can assign the same tag to CPE devices located at the same location and then update firmware on them all.

To have a tag assigned, the CPE device must have the Registered status. Two identical tags cannot be assigned to the same CPE device.
