Modeling Devices Overview
For an undeployed M-series or MX-series device, you can create a device configuration in NSM, and then install that device configuration on the physical device.
Adding a single undeployed device to NSM is a four-stage process:
- Model the device in the UI.
- Create the device object configuration.
- Activate the device.
- Update the device configuration.
For more detailed information and steps about modeling a device, see “Modeling Devices” in the Network and Security Manager Administration Guide.
