Security devices are the Juniper Networks security components that you use to enable
access to your network components and to protect your network against malicious traffic.
When you use NSM to manage your security devices, you are creating a virtual network
that represents your physical network. Using this virtual network, you can create, control,
and maintain the security of your physical network at a system-level.
This chapter provides a brief overview on how best to create your virtual network and
simplify management tasks. For detailed information, see the Network and Security
Manager Administration Guide.

Device configuration contains the configuration settings for a managed device, such as
interface, routing, and authentication settings. You can edit configurations after you add
or import a managed device, or create configurations when you model a device. When
you are satisfied with your changes, you can then update the managed device with the
modeled device configuration to make your changes take effect.
