Device Server can support up to 1000 devices; the management system supports up to
30,000 log entries per second.
Using the NSM UI, you can configure NSM administrators, add devices, edit policies, view
reports, and access the full functionality of the NSM system.
NOTE: This manual provides an overview of the UI. For step-by-step instructions on
using the User Interface, click Help in the menu bar of the UI to access the Network and
Security Manager Online Help.
The following characters are not supported for NSM administrator names and passwords:
Period ( . )
Number sign ( # )
Dollar sign ( $ )
Asterisk ( * )
Ampersand ( & )
Circumflex ( ^ )
NOTE: Passwords in the NSM UI are case-sensitive.
The NSM UI blocks hosts that fail to login after 10 attempts by default. Use the Tools >
Preferences > System Properties option to change the number of attempts. Use the
Tools > Manage Blocked Hosts option to unblock hosts that have been locked out of
the UI because of excessive failed login attempts.
You can configure additional preferences for UI behavior, such as appearance, external
tool use, polling statistics, and UI timeout. For details on configuring these settings, see
the topics under "Network and Security Manager User Interface" in the Network and
Security Manager Online Help.
The NSM UI appears after you log in, and displays a set of menus and toolbar icons at
the top of the UI window. For some components, right-click menus are available to
perform tasks. Figure 3 on page 24 shows a sample UI screen.
