NSM is the Juniper Networks network management tool that allows distributed
administration of network appliances like the M-series and MX-series routers. You can
use the NSM application to centralize status monitoring, logging, and reporting, and to
administer device configurations. The term device is used in NSM to describe a router or
platform.
With NSM you can manage and administer a device from a single management interface.
In addition, NSM lets you manage most of the parameters that you can configure through
the command-line interface (CLI). Although the configuration screens rendered in NSM
look different, the top-level configuration elements essentially correspond to commands
in the CLI.
NSM incorporates a broad configuration management framework that allows
comanagement using other methods. To manage the device configuration, you can also
use the XML files import and export feature, or you can manage from the device's admin
console.
