Network and Security Manager

NSMXpress Series II Quick Start

November 17, 2010

Revision 1

NSMXpress Series II is an appliance version of Network and Security Manager (NSM).

NSMXpress Series II 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 Series II because it eliminates the

need to have dedicated resources for maintaining a network and security management

solution.

NSMXpress Series II 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 Series II concurrently.

This quick start explains the following steps for installing and configuring NSMXpress

Series II and for configuring NSM.

1. Install the NSMXpress Series II appliance hardware.

2. Set up the NSMXpress Series II appliance using the serial port.

3. Configure the NSMXpress Series II software using the Web interface.

4. Configure the NSM software which is preinstalled onto the NSMXpress Series II

appliance, with site-specific parameters.
