To create an Extranet Device:
In the NSM navigation tree, click Device Manager > Devices.
1.
Click New, and select Extranet Device. The New Extranet Device window appears.
2.
Configure the extranet device:
3.
Enter a name for the device: enter Cisco Router1.
Select a color to represent the device.
Enter the IP address for the device.
Click Show in the Supplemental Data area. Additional fields appear, allowing you
to configure supplemental information for the device, including the netmask,
interfaces, and device root administrator.
Click the Add icon in the Interfaces field. The New Extranet Device Interface window
appears.
Configure the interface. Enter a name for the interface, and add an IP address, and
an interface mask. Then assign an extranet policy to it: for example, assign the
Extranet Policy1 object you configured previously. Click OK.
Configure the device root administrator. Enter the administrator user name, and
password, and specify the script you created previously in the Action field. Click OK.
When you update the device, NSM invokes the script you created. Any XML output appears
in the Job Information window.

Use templates to define a common device configuration and then reuse that configuration
information across multiple devices. In a template, you can define only those configuration
parameters that you want to set; you do not need to specify a complete device
configuration. Templates provide two benefits:
You can configure parameter values for a device by referring to one or more templates
when configuring the device.
When you change a parameter value in a template and save the template, the value
also changes for all device configurations that refer to that template.
When you apply a template to a device, NSM applies the template settings to the device.
For example, you can create a template that specifies the IP address of the NTP server
to which all managed security devices synchronize their clocks. You can apply this
template to the configuration of each device in your domain so that all devices use the
same NTP server. You can apply the same template to different types of security devices,
from NetScreen-5XT appliances to NetScreen-5200 systems.
