Creating the CSV File
Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
When importing devices with dynamic IP addresses, you must manually import
the device configuration after the Add Many Devices workflow is complete.
When modeling ScreenOS devices for Rapid Deployment, you can also create
configlets during the Add Many Devices workflow, or select to skip configlet
creation.
The time it takes for NSM to activate and import devices depends on the number of
devices and the management system configuration.
Verify the device configuration.

The following sections provide details about each step.
Within a
file, you define the device configuration values for each device you want to
.csv
add. The required and optional values depend not only on how the device is deployed
on your network—static IP addresses, dynamic IP addresses, or undeployed devices—but
also on the device family.
You must create a separate CSV file for the following devices:
Devices with static IP addresses—In this CSV file, you define the device parameters
required to add and import the device configurations from all supported device types
except IDP.
Devices with dynamic IP addresses—In this CSV file, you define the device parameters
required to add all supported devices (except IDP) to the NSM system.
Undeployed ScreenOS devices—In this CSV file, you define the device parameters
required to add and model ScreenOS 5.x and later devices in the NSM system.
NOTE: You can model many ScreenOS devices, but you cannot activate many devices
except when using the Rapid Deployment process.
Juniper Networks provides CSV templates in Microsoft Excel format for each type of CSV
file. These templates are located in the utils subdirectory where you have stored the
program files for the UI client, for example:
C:\Program Files\Network and Security Manager\utils
For each CSV file, each row defines a single device's values for each parameter. For text
files, columns are separated by commas.
