Juniper Networks Network and Security Manager (NSM) is a software application that

centralizes control and management of your Juniper Networks devices. With NSM, Juniper

Networks delivers integrated, policy-based security and network management for all

devices.

NSM uses the technology developed for Juniper Networks ScreenOS to enable and

simplify management support for previous and future versions of ScreenOS. By integrating

management of all Juniper Networks security devices, NSM enhances the overall security

of the Internet gateway.

This guide explains how to configure EX-series devices. Use this guide in conjunction with

the NSM Online Help, which provides step-by-step instructions for many of the processes

described in this document.

NOTE: If the information in the latest NSM Release Notes differs from the

information in this guide, follow the NSM Release Notes.

This guide is intended for system administrators responsible for the security infrastructure

of their organization. Specifically, this book discusses concepts of interest to firewall and

VPN administrators, network/security operations center administrators; and system

administrators responsible for user permissions on the network.

The sample screens used throughout this guide are representations of the screens that

appear when you install and configure the NSM software. The actual screens may differ.
