Determine Device Status

Unified Access Control (Infranet Controller) devices—The policy management server
of the Juniper Networks LAN access control solution.
SSL VPN (Secure Access) devices.
Virtual Chassis—Stacked EX Series devices functioning as one logical EX Series switch
or an SRX cluster represented in NSM as a virtual chassis.
Vsys devices—Virtual devices that exist within a physical security device. For details
on adding vsys devices, see "Adding Vsys Devices" on page 146.
Clusters—A cluster is a set of multiple devices joined together in a high availability
configuration to ensure continued network uptime. You can build ScreenOS clusters
(NSRP), IDP clusters, JUNOS clusters from J Series or SRX Series devices, Secure
Access clusters, or Infranet Controller clusters. For details on adding clusters, see
"Adding Clusters" on page 151.
Vsys clusters—A vsys cluster device is a vsys device that has a cluster as its root device.
For details on adding vsys clusters and vsys devices, see "Adding a Vsys Cluster and
Vsys Cluster Members" on page 164.
Extranet devices—An extranet device is a third-party device or a device not managed
by NSM. For details on adding extranet devices, see "Adding an Extranet Device" on
page 150.
Before adding any device type, you must determine the device status. After adding the
device, you must verify the device configuration.
How you add your devices to the management system depends on the network status
of the device. You can import deployed devices, or you can model devices that have not
yet been deployed:
Import deployed devices—Deployed devices are the devices you are currently using in
your existing network. These devices have already been configured with a static or
dynamic IP address and other basic information. For deployed devices, you can import
the existing device configuration information into NSM.
NOTE: To import device configurations, the connection between NSM and the managed
device must be at least 28.8 Kbps. For details on installing NSM on your network, refer
to the Network and Security Manager Installation Guide.
Model undeployed devices—Undeployed devices are devices that you are not currently
using in your network, and typically do not have IP addresses, zones, or other basic
network information. For undeployed devices, you can model a new device configuration,
and later install that configuration on the device.
The Add Device wizard walks you through each step of the device creation process. It
prompts you to choose a workflow.
then prompts you for specific device information, such as the device platform name, OS
name and version, IP address, and device administrator name, and then uses that
