What's New in NSM SaaS

  • Template Enhancements:

    When a new device is added to an auto-commit-enabled device group that has a template with variables previously applied to it, a resolve variables option is presented for the new device (NSM-10116).

    1. When a new interface is created, the default address object for that interface is created automatically.
    2. When an existing interface is edited, the related address object for that interface is automatically updated.
    3. Zone creation in templates creates the zone subnets address group.
    4. Variable support provided for configuring routing rules and for ethernet address in static range configuration under DHCP server lease scopes.
    5. Firewall fail-over and LB setting configuration is supported in templates.
    6. Validation checks for IP addresses throw an error if an incorrect IP address is entered.
  • New Filters on Commits Page: Four new filters have been added on the commit page under operational status: Pending Approval, Approval Overdue, Approved and Rejected.

  • Login to Unit: Login to unit opens in a new tab in browser.

  • Automatic Commits: Commits are automatically created for the following operations on the firewall inventory page:

    1. License synchronization at the group level.
    2. Flush ARP cache.
    3. Rebooting at the group level.
