Chapter 7: Managing Devices
which does not support RIP. The DM schema links to the appropriate device capability
file for each device.
Device capability files make it easier to integrate devices into NSM and also make
upgrading the software on your security devices easier. Each software release includes
device capability files that describe the new and changed fields, attributes, and allowable
ranges of values.
Data Model Updating
Data Model update is the process of translating the objects and object attributes in the
ADM domain into individual DMs with device-specific configuration information.
In the ADM, objects are arranged similarly to objects in the management console: each
item (VPN, policy, device, device group, and so on) is represented by an object. In the
DM, each item is a property of a single device. During the data model update process,
the GUI Server identifies the objects that contain properties for a device, and translates
those object properties into properties of that device.
When you update a device configuration using the management console, the GUI Server
translates the objects and object attributes in the ADM domain into device configuration
information in a DM. The Device Server then translates the device configuration
information in the DM into CLI commands and sends the commands to the device. See
Figure 76 on page 308.
