Prerequisites

The prerequisites are similar for each platform NSM can be installed on.

• Each firewall must be licensed with the Comprehensive/Advanced Gateway Security Suite (CGSS/AGSS).
• Firewalls supported by an NSM On-Premises instance must be in a single Group or Tenancy.
• The firewalls added to NSM On-Premises are not a part of CSC (Capture Security Center) or NSM SaaS.
• Each firewall should have HTTPS management enabled.

If a firewall is behind a NAT device, the HTTPS management port must be opened for the cloud services to communicate with the firewall.

For a KVM implementation, ensure that your Linux system supports KVM and download the image file to your Linux system (for example, SonicWall_NSM_On-Prem__For_QEMU_VM.img) to your Linux machine.
