Technical Overview
NSM architecture is built on a secure foundation, with secure communication between
management components and a single access point for inbound connections.
NOTE: For details on NSM architecture and help with setting up the
management system, see the Network and Security Manager Installation
Guide.
Architecture
NSM is a three-tier management system made up of a user interface (UI), management
system, and managed devices. The devices process your network traffic and are the
enforcement points that implement your policies. The UI and management system tiers
are software, not hardware, so you can deploy them quickly and easily. Because the
management system uses internal databases for storage and authentication, you do not
need LDAP or an external database. See Figure 1 on page 10.
Figure 1: NSM Network Architecture
The management system also provides a programmatic interface for integrating NSM
into larger enterprise business systems. This NSM API provides an alternative interface
to that provided by the UI. For details, see the
Network and Security Manager API Guide .
