NOTE: To import device configurations, the connection between NSM and
the managed device must be at least 28.8 Kbps. For details on installing
NSM on your network, refer to the Network and Security Manager Installation
Guide.
Model undeployed devices—Undeployed devices are devices that you are not currently
using in your network and, typically for which, you do not have IP addresses, zones, or
other basic network information. For undeployed devices, you can model a new device
configuration and later install that configuration on the device.
To help you add a device, the UI contains an Add Device wizard that walks you through
each step of the device creation process. The Add Device wizard prompts you to first
choose a workflow from the given options.
wizard then prompts you for specific device information, such as the device platform
name, OS name and version, IP address, and device administrator name, and then uses
that information to detect the device. You can then choose to modify the displayed name
of the device and assign a color to the device. If the host name is not unique within NSM
or is undetected, the Add Device wizard generates a validation error, forcing you to add
a valid device name in order to proceed with adding the physical device to the Device
Server.
After the physical device connects, it is considered to be a managed device, meaning it
is now under the control of NSM.
For more detailed information about verifying and managing a device, see "About Device
Creation" in the Network and Security Manager Administration Guide.
