The Network and Security Manager (NSM) is a software application that centralizes
control and management of your Juniper Networks devices. With NSM, Juniper Networks
delivers integrated, policy-based security and network management for all security
devices.
NSM uses the technology developed for Juniper Networks ScreenOS to enable and
simplify management support for previous and future versions of ScreenOS. By integrating
management of all Juniper Networks security devices, NSM enhances the overall security
of the Internet gateway.
This guide explains how to configure NSM ScreenOS devices. For detailed NSM IDP device
configuration, see the Configuring Intrusion Detection and Prevention Devices Guide. Use
this guide in conjunction with the Network and Security Manager Administration Guide,
Network and Security Manager Installation Guide, and Network and Security Manager
Online Help.
This guide is intended for system administrators responsible for the security infrastructure
of their organization. Specifically, this book discusses concepts of interest to firewall and
VPN administrators, network/security operations center administrators; and system
administrators responsible for user permissions on the network.
The sample screens used throughout this guide are representations of the screens that
appear when you install and configure the NSM software. The actual screens may differ.
All examples show default file paths. If you do not accept the installation defaults, your
paths will vary from the examples.
