Juniper Networks 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
devices.
NSM uses the technology developed for Juniper Networks ScreenOS to enable and
simplify management support for previous and current versions of ScreenOS and current
versions of Junos OS. By integrating management of all Juniper Networks security devices,
NSM enhances the overall security of the Internet gateway.
This guide describes NSM features and provides a technical overview of the management
system architecture. It also explains how to configure basic and advanced NSM
functionality, including adding new devices, deploying new device configurations, updating
device firmware, managing security policies and VPNs, viewing log information, and
monitoring the status of your network. Use this guide in conjunction with the NSM Online
Help, which provides step-by-step instructions for many of the processes described in
this document.
NOTE: If the information in the latest NSM Release Notes differs from the
information in this guide, follow the NSM Release Notes.
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.
