When you update a managed device, you modify the running device configuration (the
configuration currently installed on the physical device) with the modeled device
configuration (the configuration currently modeled in Network and Security Manager
(NSM).
You can update a single device, multiple devices, or device groups simultaneously. For
example, if you have created a device group that includes only M-series devices, you can
update the entire device group in a single update procedure. During the update, NSM
displays the progress of the update on each individual device so you can see exactly what
is happening. Simultaneous updating also reduces downtime to unaffected devices and
areas of your network.
Updating a device is a three-step process.
Ensure that you have configured the device correctly, created and assigned a policy
1.
to the device, and established a connection between the device and the management
server.
From the Device Manager launchpad, select Update Device. The launchpad displays
2.
the Update Device(s) dialog box.
All connected and managed devices appear in the device list. Modeled devices and
devices awaiting import for the first time do not appear.
