Juniper seems to understand that strong centralized management for multiple devices is crucial for large organizations. Without a good centralized interface, firewall rule sets quickly become unwieldy at a global level. NSM lets administrators configure devices, create firewall objects, such as hosts and IP address ranges, and define rule sets that can be applied to firewalls or groups of firewalls. NSM has two components: a set of management packages that run on Linux or Solaris, and a graphical interface that runs on Linux or Windows.
The interface contains the familiar navigation tree and a primary pane for configuration and reviewing returned information. NSM offers tools for monitoring firewall utilization and system health, and reporting tools for creating data summaries.
