Objectives
Juniper Networks NSMXpress Series II is an appliance version of Network and Security
Manager (NSM), 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 network and security devices.
NSMXpress Series II simplifies the complexity of device administration by providing single,
integrated management interfaces that control device parameters. Each appliance is
preconfigured as either a regional server or central manager.
This guide describes how you can install NSM onto your NSMXpress Series II appliance.
In addition, this guide describes how to manage the appliance using the NSM
command-line interface (CLI) or the Web interface.
Audience
This guide is intended for system administrators responsible for the security infrastructure
of their organization. Specifically, this book provides procedures for firewall and VPN
administrators, network/security operations center administrators, and system
administrators responsible for user permissions on the network.
Conventions
The sample screens used throughout this guide are representations of the screens that
appear when you install and configure the NSM software. The actual screens you see
may differ.
All examples show default file paths. If you do not accept the installation defaults, your
paths will vary from the examples.
