NSM can import device configurations from M-series and MX-series devices running
JUNOS 9.3 or later.
When importing from a device, the management system connects to the device and
imports Data Model (DM) information that contains details of the device configuration.
The connection is secured using Secure Server Protocol (SSP), a proprietary encryption
method; an always-on connection exists between the management system and the
device.
For details about adding multiple devices at one time, see the Network and Security
Manager Administration Guide.
To import a single device, you must have available the following requirements:
A management interface (fxp0) with the IP address of the device
A user with full administrative privileges for the NSM administrator
Device connection information (IP address, connection method) and the device
administrator's name and password
NOTE: All passwords handled by NSM are case-sensitive.
A physical connection to your network with access to network resources
Connectivity to the NSM Device Server, which can be with a static IP address
A Telnet or an SSHv2, and a NETCONF protocol over SSH connection
