If you are managing more than 1000 devices, we recommend that you use two Network
Interface Cards (NIC) for both GUI Server and Device Server systems. On each server,
one of the NIC cards is dedicated for the connection with the other server. The other NIC
card on the GUI Server is used for UI connections. The other NIC card on the Device Server
is used for device connections.
The process of configuring multiple Network Interface Cards (NICs) with NSM is as
follows:
Before installing NSM, enable one NIC only.
1.
Install NSM management system and User Interface.
2.
Enable the second NIC.
3.
Log into the UI as a superuser.
4.
Select Server Manager>Servers.
5.
Edit the Device Server. Under the section MIP, add the IP Address of the second
6.
interface.
When you add a device, use the MIP Address for the devices to connect to the Device
7.
Server.
This section details memory requirements on the GUI Server and Device Server.
A higher device configuration size requires more memory for the GUI Server.
First, make note of the number and type of devices that will be managed by NSM, and
their configuration sizes. Configuration sizes can vary widely based on the number of
rules in a policy and the number of VPN tunnels. To determine configuration size for a
device look at the first line of the output of get config on the CLI, or the equivalent Web
UI action. This is the size of the configuration for a device in bytes. Take the sum of the
configuration sizes to be managed, and see Table 26 on page 202 to determine the
estimated RAM required:
