Adding Intrusion Detection and Prevention Devices in NSM Overview
Before NSM can manage IDP devices, you must first add the IDP devices to the management system using the NSM UI. To add an IDP device, you create an object in the UI that represents the physical device, and then create a connection between the UI object and the device so that their information is linked. When you make a change to the UI device object, you can push that information to the real device so the two remain synchronized. You can add a single IDP device at a time or add multiple IDP devices all at once.
For complete details on adding IDP devices, see the Network and Security Manager Administration Guide.
