At its foundation, a management system integrates your individual security devices into
a single, effective security system that you control from a central location. With NSM,
you can manage your network at the system level, using policy-based central
management, as well as at the device level, managing all device parameters for devices.
NSM is designed to work with networks of all sizes and complexity. You can add a single
device, or create device templates to help you deploy multiple devices; you can create
new policies, or edit existing policies forsecurity devices. The managementsystem tracks
and logs each administrative change in real-time, providing you with a complete
administrative record and helping you perform fault management.
NSM also simplifies control of your network with an intuitive UI. Making all changes to
your devices from a single, easy-to-use interface can reduce deployment costs, simplify
network complexity, speed configuration, and minimize troubleshooting time.

Security Integration Management Using NSM Overview
True security integration occurs when you can control every security device on your
network and see every security event in real-time from one location. In NSM, this location
is the NSM GUI, a graphical user interface that contains a virtual representation of every
security device on your network. The idea behind this virtual-physical abstraction is that
you can access your entire network from one location—use this console to view your
network, the devices runningon it, the policies controlling access to it, and the traffic that
is flowing through it.
The following topics are the security integration management features of NSM:

Complete Support
You can create and manage device configurations for security devices or systems. NSM
provides support for ScreenOS configuration commands, so you can retain complete
control over your devices when using system-level management features like VPNs.
With NSM, you can use domains to segment your network functionally or geographically
to define specific network areas that multiple administrators can manage easily.
A domain logically groups devices, their policies, and their access privileges. Use a single
domain for small networks with a few security administrators, or use multiple domains
for enterprise networks to separate large, geographically distant or functionally distinct
systems, control administrative access to individual systems, or obfuscate systems for
service provider deployments.
With multiple domains, you can create objects, policies, and templates in the global
domain, and then create subdomains that automatically inherit these definitions from
the global domain.
Role-Based Administration
Control access to management with NSM—define strategicroles for your administrators,
delegate management tasks, and enhance existing permission structures with new
task-based functionality.
Chapter 1: NSM User Interface and NSM Key Management Features
Use NSM to create a security environment that reflects your current offline administrator
roles and responsibilities. Because management is centralized, it’s easy to configure
multiple administrators for multiple domains. By specifying the exact tasks your NSM
administrators can perform within a domain, you minimize the probability of errors and
security violations, and enable a clear audit trail for every management event.
Initially, when you log in to NSM as the super administrator, you have full access to all
functionality within the global domain.From theglobal domain,you canadd thefollowing
NSM administrators, configure their roles, and specify the subdomains to which they
have access:
•
Activities and Roles—An activity is a predefined task performed in the NSM system,
and a role is a collection of activities that defines an administrative function. Use
activities to create custom roles for your NSM administrators.
•
Administrators—An administrator is a user of NSM or IDP; each administrator has a
specific level of permissions. Create multiple administrators with specific roles to
control access to the devices in each domain.
•
Default Roles—Use the predefined roles System Administrator, Read-Only System
Administrator, Domain Administrator, Read-Only Domain Administrator, IDP
Administrator, or Read-Only IDP Administrator to quickly create permissions for your
administrators.
Centralized Device Configuration
No network is too large—because you manage your security devices from one location,
you can use the following system management mechanisms to help you quickly and
efficiently create or modify multiple device configurations at one time:
Templates—A template is a predefined device configuration that helps you reuse
specific information. Create a device template that defines specific configuration
values, and then apply that template to devices to quickly configure multiple devices
at one time. For more flexibility, you can combine and apply multiple device templates
to a single device configuration(63 maximum).In addition,you canmake global-domain
templates available for reference in subdomains.
Shared Objects—An object is an NSM definition that is valid in the global domain and
all subdomains. Any object created in the global domain is a shared object that is
shared by all subdomains; the subdomain automatically inherits any shared objects
defined in the global domain. You will not see global objects in the Object Manager of
a subdomain. Although, you can use the objects when selecting objects in a policy.
The global domain is a good location for security devices and systems that are used
throughout your organization, address book entries for commonly used network
components, or other frequently used objects.A subdomain, alternatively, enables you
to separate firewalls, systems, and address objects from the global domain and other
subdomains, creating a private area to which you can restrict access.
Grouping—A group is a collection of similar devices or objects. Use device groups and
object groups to update multiple devices simultaneously, simplify rule creation and
deployment, and enablegroup-specific reporting.You can even link groupsusing Group
Expressions to create a custom group.
Migration Tools
If you have existing security devices deployed on your network or are using a previous
Juniper Networks management system, you can use the NSM migration tools to quickly
import your existing security devices and their configurations, address books, service
objects, policies, VPNs, andadministrator privileges. As NSM importsyour existingdevice
configurations, it automatically creates your virtual network based on the configuration
information.
You can import device configurations directly from your security device, or from your
Juniper Networks Global PRO or Global PRO Express system. Import all your security
devices at one time, or, if your network is large, import one domain at a time. When
importing from Global PRO or Global PRO Express, NSM automatically transfers your
existing domain structure.
For details on migrating from a previous management system, see the NSM MigrationGuide.
