Using the Device Manager in NSM, you can verify the configuration settings of the imported
device. To verify the configuration settings, click Configure, expand Device Manager,
select Devices and click the Device List tab.
Ensure that the following parameters are indicated:
Imported device serial number matches the serial number on the physical device
Imported device IP address matches the IP address for the physical device
Job Manager tracks the status of major administrative tasks, such as importing or updating
a device. After you import a device, view the report for the import task to ensure that the
management system imported the device configuration as you expected. To track the
status of the imported Infranet Controllers in NSM, from the left pane click Administer
and select Job Manager.
Job Manager also tracks the status of configuration summaries, described in "Using
Configuration Summaries."
NSM provides three configuration summaries to help you manage device configurations
and prevent accidental misconfigurations. Use configuration summaries after you import
a device to ensure that the management system imported the physical device
configuration as you expected.
Configuration summaries help with ongoing device maintenance, particularly for devices
on which a local device administrator has been troubleshooting using CLI commands or
the Web UI. Because the device object configuration in the NSM UI can overwrite the
physical device configuration, you should always confirm the commands that are sent
to the device.
The three configuration summaries that help you to manage device configurations are:
Configuration Summary
Delta Configuration Summary
Running Configuration Summary
Configuration Summary
A configuration summary shows you the exact CLI commands that will be sent to the
managed device during the next device update. To get a configuration summary in NSM,
from the Devices menu, click Configuration and select Summarize Config. The Summarize
Config dialog box appears. You see a list of security devices to which you have access.
Select the device you just imported and click OK. NSM analyzes the UI device object
configuration and generates a summary report that lists the CLI commands or XML
messages to send to the physical device during the next device update.
