Dynamic Attributes Rule Conditions

Dynamic attributes include the following:

  • (Source or destination.) Dynamic objects (such as from the Cisco Secure Dynamic Attributes Connector)

    The dynamic attributes connector enables you to collect data (such as networks and IP addresses) from cloud providers and send it to the Secure Firewall Management Center so it can be used in access control rules.

    For more information about the dynamic attributes connector, see About the Cisco Secure Dynamic Attributes Connector.

  • (Source only.) Location IP objects, defined by Cisco ISE

  • (Source only.) Device type objects, defined by Cisco ISE (also referred to as endpoint profile objects)

Dynamic attributes can be used as source criteria and destination criteria in access control rules. Use the following guidelines:

  • Objects of different types are ANDd together

  • Objects of a similar type are ORd together

For example, if you choose source destination criteria SGT 1, SGT 2, and device type 1; the rule is matched if device type 1 is detected on either SGT 1 or SGT 2. As another example, if you select both a security group tag, and a dynamic object that lists IP addresses, the rule matches if traffic with the tag originates from (or is destined to) one of those IP addresses.
