What’s New
- NSM 2.6.0 SaaS contains the following features and usability enhancements:
- Firewall Auto Synchronization: NSM can now automatically synchronize configuration modifications performed on the firewall from the local UI. This capability is turned off by default but can be enabled at the tenant level. Please refer to the administration guide to understand the complete feature workflow.
- Firewall Model-Specific Templates: Model-specific templates help administrators reliably deploy the same configuration on a fleet of firewalls.
- Management of TZ80: The NSM 2.6.0 release supports the complete management capability of the TZ80 device, including support for the new license model of TZ80, firewall configuration, and reporting and analytics.
- Firewall Audit logs: NSM users can now view firewall audit logs in the NSM firewall view. This enhancement enhances the existing firewall monitoring and troubleshooting capability.
- Firewall Diagnostic Features: Starting NSM 2.6.0, users will be able to use firewall diagnostics tools such as check network settings, top connections, ability to look up domain or IP address (MX and Banner), check for IP reputation using GRID check, check for URL reputation and perform switch diagnostics. These tools are available in firewall view.
- IPv6 support in CTA report: CTA reports generated from NSM will support IPv6 logs received from firewall.
- Usability Enhancements: To better organize NSM menu option and making NSM terminology intuitive, the following changes have been made in this release.
- Menu option update: We are moving system event and authentication logs under Firewall View < Log menu.
- Terminology update:
- Firewall On and Off status is changed to Online and Offline status in NSM dashboard.
- Firewall Unmanaged and Managed status is changed to Out of Sync and In Sync status in NSM dashboard and inventory.
- Firewall Unassigned status is changed to Device group unassigned status in NSM dashboard and inventory.
