2. At the end of Add details page, click Show advanced options. The advanced options appear.
3. Click the Tagging tab.
4. Complete the following. See Overview of Tagging for descriptions of these fields.

  - Value
5. Click +Additional tag to add another tag. Click X to remove the associated tag.
6. Click Next to continue with the load balancer creation.
Use the --defined-tags or --freeform-tags options when running the oci lb load-balancer create command to tag a load balancer when creating a load balancer:
