Juniper NETWORK AND SECURITY MANAGER NSM3000

Network and Security Manager NSM3000

Quick Start

November 17, 2010

Revision 1

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:

•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 NSM3000 concurrently.

This quick start explains the following steps for installing and configuring NSM3000 and

for configuring NSM.

1. Install the NSM3000 appliance hardware.

2. Set up the NSM3000 appliance, using the serial port.

3. Configure the NSM software, using the Web interface.

4. Configure the NSM software, which is preinstalled onto the NSM3000 appliance, with

site-specific parameters.

Hardware Installation

We recommend that you install NSM3000 on your LAN to ensure that it can communicate

with your applicable resources, such as authentication servers, DNS servers, internal Web

servers through HTTP/HTTPS, external Web sites through HTTP/HTTPS (optional), the

Juniper update server via HTTP, Network File System (NFS) file servers (optional), and

client/server applications (optional).

NOTE: If you decide to install NSM3000 in your DMZ, ensure that it can

connect to your internal resources.

Installing the NSM3000 Hardware

Follow these steps to unpack the NSM3000 appliance and connect it to your network.

To install NSM3000:

1. Place the shipping container on a flat surface and remove the hardware components

with care.

2. Remove the NSM3000 device from the shipping container and place it on a flat

surface.

3. Mount NSM3000 in your server rack using the attached mounting brackets.

4. Plug the power cord into the AC receptacle on the rear panel.

Hardware Installation

If your NSM3000 contains two power supplies, plug a power cord into each AC

receptacle.

5. Plug the other end of the power cord into a wall socket.

If your NSM3000 contains two power supplies, plug each power cord into a separate

power circuit to ensure that the NSM3000 continues to receive power if one of the

power circuits fails.

6. Plug the Ethernet cable into the port marked ETH0 on the front panel.

7. Plug the null modem serial cable into the console port.

This cable was shipped with your NSM3000. If you do not have this cable, use any

other null modem serial cable.

8. Push the power button in the upper left corner of the front panel.

The green LED below the power button turns on. The NSM3000 hard disk LED turns

on whenever the appliance reads data from or writes data to an NSM3000 hard disk.

The internal port uses two LEDs to indicate the LAN connection status, which is described

in Table 2 on page 6.

Table 2 on page 6 provides LED information for the Ethernet ports.

NSM3000 Quick Start

Initial Setup Configuration

When you first turn on an unconfigured NSM3000 appliance, you need to enter basic

network and machine information through the serial console to make your appliance

accessible to the network. After entering these settings, you can continue configuring

the appliance using the CLI or the Web interface. You are not prompted for the initial

setup information again.

This section describes the required serial console setup and the tasks you need to perform

when connecting to your NSM3000 for the first time:

•Boot NSM3000 on page 7

•Set Up Your Appliance on page 7

Boot NSM3000

To configure NSM3000 for the first time, you must attach your NSM3000 appliance to

a console terminal running an emulation utility such as HyperTerminal.

1. Configure a console terminal or terminal emulation utility to use the following serial

connection parameters:

•9600 bits per second

•8-bit no parity (8N1)

•1 stop bit

•No flow control

2. Connect the terminal or laptop to the null modem serial cable plugged into the

NSM3000 console port.

3. Turn on the NSM3000 appliance.

When NSM3000 is powered on, the serial console displays diagnostic information

before proceeding to the boot countdown. When complete, the serial console displays

the login prompt terminal emulator.

NSMXpress.juniper.net login:

4. Enter admin as your default login name.

5. Enter abc123 as your default password.

6. Change your default password when prompted. Enter the default password first,

followed by your new password. All passwords are case-sensitive.

Set Up Your Appliance

This section provides the minimum information necessary to make your appliance active

on the network.

To set up your appliance either as a regional server or a central manager, follow these

steps:

Initial Setup Configuration

1. Enter the IP address for interface eth0 and press Enter.

2. Enter the subnet mask for interface eth0 and press Enter.

3. Enter the default route or default gateway address for interface eth0 and press Enter.

Applying changes...

Re-loading database

Done!

Your NSMXpress is now active on the network.

To configure your system via a web browser, connect to:

https://10.150.43.205/administration

To configure your system via command line, type:

nsm_setup

For operation of NSM server, switch to user “nsm”.

Please consult NSM product documentation for details.

[admin@NSMXpress ~]$

To configure the NSM software using the CLI, see the NSMXpress and NSM3000 User

Guide. To configure the NSM software using the Web interface, go to “Web Interface

Configuration” on page 8.

Web Interface Configuration

To configure NSM on your system from a Web interface, use the following steps.

1. Copy the URL (starting with https://) from the terminal emulator after installing the

NSM3000:

Your NSMXpress is now active on the network.

To configure your system via a web browser, connect to:

https//10.150.43.205/administration

2. Open a Web browser and paste the URL into the address text box.

3. Press Enter to open the NSM appliance login page.

4. Enter the admin user name and password and then click Login.

5. See “Configuring the NSM Software” on page 8 for details about how to install and

configure NSM on your NSM3000 appliance from the Web interface.

Configuring the NSM Software

After you log in as an “admin” user, an initial setup script walks you through additional

configuration system settings before finalizing the NSM installation. This chapter describes

that setup process.

NSM3000 Quick Start

Your NSM3000 appliance comes preconfigured as a regional server or a central manager.

Most installation and configuration steps in this section are identical for both types of

server. All exceptions are noted.

After logging into the NSM3000 Web interface, NSM3000 provides you with the following

installation options:

•Configuring Basic Settings on page 9

•Configuring High Availability on page 11

•Advanced Options on page 14

•Installing NSM Software on page 17

Configuring Basic Settings

To install the regional server or central manager software using the minimum

requirements:

1. Install your NSM3000 hardware as described in “Hardware Installation” on page 4.

2. Boot and setup your NSM3000 appliance as described in “Initial Setup Configuration”

on page 7.

3. Enter the https://<ip>/administration URL for your appliance in a Web browser. See

“Web Interface Configuration” on page 8 for details.

4. Log into the Web interface. The System Info page opens.

5. Click the link Install NSM Regional Server (see Figure 3 on page 10) to go to the Install

Regional Server window or click the Install NSM Central Manager link to view the Install

NSM Central Manager window (see Figure 4 on page 10), as the case may be.

NOTE: The “admin” user default username is admin and the password is

the one you created in Step 6 of “Boot NSM3000” on page 7.
