In the Specify Name, Color, OS Name, Version, and Platform screen, enter the
5.
following information:
Enter a name and select a color to represent the device in the UI.
In the OS Name list, select the device family that the modeled device belongs to.
For Junos devices, select the Junos OS type:
To model a J Series or SRX Series device, or an SRX virtual chassis, select J/SRX
Series from the list.
To model an EX Series device or virtual chassis, select EX Series.
To model an M Series or MX Series device, select M/MX Series.
In the platform list, select the device platform name.
In the OS version list, select the version of the operating system or firmware that
runs on the device.
For EX Series switches, check Virtual Chassis if you wish to model a virtual chassis
6.
(an array of EX4200 series switches). For an SRX virtual chassis check Virtual Chassis
if you wish to model an SRX virtual chassis.
When adding a ScreenOS device that uses port modes, select the appropriate port
7.
mode from the Device subtype list, after you select the device type. NSM
automatically sets the license mode to Extended.
Enable transparent mode, if desired (ScreenOS devices only).
8.
NOTE: You cannot change the operational mode after the device has been modeled.
Click Finish to complete the Add Device wizard. The UI creates a corresponding
9.
device object that appears in the Device Manager list.
Hold your mouse cursor over the device in Device Manager to check the device
10.
configuration status, or check the configuration status in Device Monitor. The status
displays "Modeled", indicating that the management system has modeled the device,
but the device is not activated and has not connected.
Because undeployed devices are devices that you are not currently using in your network,
they might not have a preexisting device configuration (IP addresses, zones, and
interfaces) that is available for import. You can create a configuration for the device
object in NSM, and then install that configuration on the device.
