Quick Start

March 27, 2012

Revision 2

NSM3000 is an appliance version of Network and Security Manager (NSM). NSM3000 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 NSM3000 because it eliminates the need to have dedicated resources for maintaining a network and security management solution.

NSM3000 makes it easy for administrators to control device configuration, network settings, and security policy settings for multiple families of Juniper devices including:

•IDPSeriesIntrusionDetectionandPreventionAppliancesandFirewallandVPNdevices 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 NSM3000 concurrently.
