Updating the Device Configuration
Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
After the onsite administrator has installed the configlet, the device has successfully
connected to the management system, and the NSM administrator has modeled the
device configuration, you can install the modeled device configuration on the physical
device:
Ensure that the device is connected by viewing the device status. Check the device
1.
configuration status by holding your mouse cursor over the device in Device Manager,
or by checking the configuration status in Device Monitor. Ensure that the
configuration status for the device displays "Update Needed", which indicates that
the device has connected but the management system has not updated the device
configuration yet.
Update the device configuration by right-clicking the device and selecting Update
2.
Device. The Job Information box displays the job type and status for the update;
when the job status displays successful completion, click Close.
After update is complete, the device status displays as "Managed", indicating that the
device has connected and the management system has successfully updated the device
configuration.
Summarize Delta Configuration
NSM allows you to perform the command Summarize Delta Config on a device before
you update the device. You can cancel the Update Device directive as well as save the
Summarize Config output. The Update Device has the following two phases: Summarize
Delta Config and Update Device.
Users can change the default to combine these two phases so that the delta configuration
summary is automatically performed before the device is updated and the results are
used to update the device as an optimization. During this combined operation, both
results (Delta Config and Update Device) are available to you by selecting View Device
Delta Config, if you have the appropriate administrator rights. Otherwise, you can still
update the device, but you cannot run Summarize Delta Config.
