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 security devices.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) series uses eight detection methods to detect

malicious network traffic. It is able to drop attacks to prevent damage to your network

and can operate inline as a forwarding gateway, directly in the path of traffic coming and

going on your network.

This guide provides the various steps to configure and manage IDP devices using NSM.

This guide also helps in understanding of how to configure basic and advanced NSM

functionality, including adding new devices, deploying new device configurations, updating

device firmware, viewing log information, and monitoring the status of IDP devices.

This guide is intended for the system administrators who are responsible for configuring

IDP devices.

This section provides all the documentation conventions that are followed in this guide.
