CHAPTER 7
Managing Devices
This chapter describes device management tasks you might need to perform in specific
situations, such as upgrading the software version on your devices, obtaining and
activating a deep inspection subscription, and handling an RMA device in the Network
and Security Manager (NSM) UI.
This chapter also provides details for ScreenOS and IDP about how the components of
the NSM management system handle device capabilities, and how device configuration
settings are imported and updated. This material is provided for reference only, and does
not contain specific configuration tasks.
This chapter also describes the Juniper Update mechanism that enables new operating
system versions and new device types to be added to NSM without the need to upgrade
NSM. This feature applies only to devices with XML-based schemas.
