Device Management Mode; Using Central Manager; Adding A Regional Server Object - Juniper NETWORK AND SECURITY MANAGER 2010.4 - ADMININISTRATION GUIDE REV1 Administration Manual

Using Central Manager

Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
NOTE: When a J Series device is managed in central manager mode, if you
select an IDP rulebase rule and specify an IP address for the source and
destination instead of "any," the rule policy is not pushed to the device.

Device Management Mode

In device management mode, you can use the NSM Device Editor to manage the complete
device configuration. A device does not reference a central policy or central manager
object. The device is not affected by any VPN manager configurations setup within NSM
for policy-based VPNs.
You can update the latest configuration to the device. Later, you can reimport the latest
configuration from the device to determine any configuration differences and so on.
You can use the NSM UI to switch from the central management to device management
mode. This operation disconnects the device from the policy manager, central object
manager, and the VPN manager.
NOTE: You cannot switch a J Series or SRX Series device from central
management mode to device management mode if the device has an
assigned policy.
