To use a Juniper Networks Space management station, complete the following steps.

Step 1: Configure the Device

FireMon strives to provide up-to-date product information, however we are not always aware when vendors change their device UI. If any Configure the Device procedure differs from your device version (UI location of fields, not information needed), please consult your device's user guide.

  1. Create an administrator account for the data collector.

    1. In the Space dashboard, select the Network Management Platform from the sidebar.

    2. Click Role Based Access Control > User Accounts.

    3. Click Create User.

    4. On the General tab, enter a Login ID and Password. These will be used in a later step in the Administration module.

    5. On the Role Assignment tab, select the Super Administrator role from the list.

    6. Click Finish.

Step 2: Onboard the Device in the Administration Module

  1. On the toolbar, click Device > Management Stations.
  2. Click Create, and then click Juniper Networks > Space (Security Director).
  1. General Properties section.
  1. In the Name box, type the name of the device as you want to see it in SIP.
  2. In the Description box, type an optional description of the device being added.
  3. In the Management IP Address box, type the IP address of the device.
  4. In the Data Collector Group box, select the IP address of the data collector group that will collect data from this device.
  5. In the Central Syslog Server box, select the syslog server from the list (optional).

Syslog fields are optional if the device uses the same IP for syslog and management.
A central syslog server is required only if syslog messages come from a different IP. A central syslog server must be created before it can be assigned to a device. To track usage via syslog, the device must support Level 3+.

  1. In the Syslog Match Names box, type the syslog match names (optional). You can enter multiple names separated by a comma.
  2. By default, the Automatically Retrieve Configuration check box is selected.
  3. In the External ID box, type a unique identifier to be used when the device identifier is different than what is displayed in SIP.
  1. For Collection Configuration, enable Update Rule Documentation on Member Devices to allow Rule Documentation fields on member devices to inherit a value from the management station. Any management stations Rule Documentation field updates will override updates on the member device. A rule marked to be removed will not be updated.
  1. Device Settings section.
  • In the User Name box, type the user name used for the read-only administrator account.
  • In the Password box, type the password used for the read-only administrator account.

    • Set an optional time in the Check for Change Start Time box. To schedule the first retrieval for a specific time, select the Starting at check box and select a time. The first retrieval will run at the time you enter. All subsequent retrievals will occur at the interval you entered above, based on the time that the first retrieval occurred. If you do not select a Change Start Time, the first scheduled retrieval will occur immediately after you save the settings. Subsequent retrievals will occur at the interval you entered.
