NSMXpress Quick Start
November 17, 2010
Revision 1
NSMXpress is an appliance version of Network and Security Manager (NSM). NSMXpress
simplifies the complexity of network administration by providing a single, integrated
management interface that controls device parameters.
This robust hardware management system installs in minutes with full high availability
(HA) support, making it easy to scale and deploy. Enterprise customers with limited
resources can benefit significantly from NSMXpress because it eliminates the need to
have dedicated resources for maintaining a network and security management solution.
NSMXpress makes it easy for administrators to control device configuration, network
settings, and security policy settings for multiple families of Juniper devices including:
•
IDP Series Intrusion Detection and Prevention Appliances and Firewall and VPN devices
running ScreenOS
•
Devices running Junos OS, such as J Series Services Routers, SRX Series Services
Gateways, EX Series Ethernet Switches, M Series Multiservice Edge Routers, and MX
Series Ethernet Services routers
•
SA Series SSL VPN Appliances
•
IC Series Unified Access Control Appliances
For a complete list of supported device families and platforms, see the
Network and
Security Manager Administration Guide
.
Up to 10 administrators can log into NSMXpress concurrently.
This quick start explains the following steps for installing and configuring NSMXpress
and for configuring NSM.
1.
