About the NSM Topology Manager Toolbar on page 574
The Network and Security Manager (NSM) Topology Manager is a tool provided in the
NSM user interface (UI) to discover and manage the physical topology of a network of
devices connected to a Juniper Networks EX-series switch. These include networking
devices such as the J-series, M-series, MX-series, and EX-series, as well as ScreenOS and
IDP devices, IP phones, desktops, printers, and servers. The Topology Manager also
provides details about connections between a device and the EX-series switch.
For more information about the Topology Manager, see the Network and Security Manager
Administration Guide.

To use the Topology Manager, first add one or more EX-series switches to the Device
Manager in NSM. You can then use an added device as a seed device in initiating a topology
discovery.
Alternatively, if there are no devices added or managed in NSM, you can initiate a topology
discovery by configuring preferred subnets. All the IP addresses in the included subnets
range are discovered. Therefore, you need to have either seed devices and/or preferred
subnets to initiate topology discovery. You also need:
The management IP address of the EX-series switch that acts as the seed IP address

SNMP credentials:
