The NetScreen Rapid Deployment (NSRD) feature enables you to quickly configure a new security device or a security device that is reset to factory defaults. This feature helps you to rapidly deploy multiple security devices in a large networked environment with minimal user involvement.

To use the NSRD feature, you must have an encrypted configuration script, called a configlet, that your NSM administrator will have created using Juniper Networks Network and Security Manager (NSM). Such a configlet file contains the settings that enable a security device to communicate with the NSM server. The NSRD feature uses the Rapid Deployment Wizard to guide you through the configuration steps by which you can select and install a configlet file from a local host or USB device.

Rapid Deployment Wizard

To configure a security device using the NSRD feature, you access the security device through a browser. When you enter the IP address of the security device in the address field of the browser, the Rapid Deployment Wizard appears. This page contains the following options that let you choose the configuration steps:

Do you have a Rapid Deployment Configlet File? Select Yes, use the following Rapid Deployment Configlet file, and perform the appropriate actions:

Note: If no configlet file matches the serial number of the security device, select a configlet file from Configlets in USB list, and click OK. Click Next. If the NSM administrator has encrypted the configlet with a password, the Rapid Deployment Wizard   opens a new window and prompts you to enter the password. Enter the password and click Next. Enter the network connectivity information in the Network Connectivity Information window.

If the security device identifies more than one matching configlet file, select the first configlet file in the list, and click OK. Enter the network connectivity details for your security device in the Network Connectivity Information window.

Network Connectivity Information

Select the appropriate network connectivity option and parameters, and click Next. The Rapid Deployment Wizard displays a success message if the network connectivity succeeds.
