You can use automatic discovery to add and import multiple JUNOS software devices
into NSM. You do so by configuring and running discovery rules. For a JUNOS software
device to be discovered by this mechanism, it must be configured with a static IP address.
By configuring and running a discovery rule, you can search a network to discover devices
in a specified subnet or within a range of IP addresses. Authentication of the devices is
through administrator login SSHv2 credentials and SNMP community settings, which
you also configure as part of the rule. Devices that match the rules for discovery also
present an SSH key for your verification before the device is added to NSM.
For more detailed information and steps about adding multiple M-series and MX-series
devices using automatic discovery, see "Adding a Device Discovery Rule" and "Running
a Device Discovery Rule" in the Network and Security Manager Administration Guide.

Adding Device Groups Overview on page 29
You can create groups of devices to manage multiple devices at one time. Use device
groups to organize your managed devices, making it easier for you to configure and
manage devices within a domain. You can group devices by type (such as all the M-series
in a domain), by physical location (such as all the devices in the San Jose office), or
logically (such as all the devices in sales offices throughout western Europe).
Use the groups to:
Deploy new or updated device configurations to the entire device group.
Deploy new or updated policies to the entire device group.
