Hardware Installation
We recommend that you install the NSM appliance on your LAN to ensure that it can
communicate with your applicable resources, such as authentication servers, DNS servers,
internal Web servers through HTTP/HTTPS, external Web sites through HTTP/HTTPS
(optional), the Juniper update server via HTTP, Network File System (NFS) file servers
(optional), and client/server applications (optional).
