Task 2.  Add a Device

Within the NMC-RX application, devices represent E-series devices. You view devices as part of your network's hierarchy. In this section, you will add a device to the Massachusetts group and set basic identification parameters.

NOTE: Before you begin, you will need a valid IP address for a device on your network.

To add a device:

1. Select the Massachusetts group.
2. Right-click, select Create, and click Juniper RX Device.

The Create System dialog box appears.

3. Enter the following information:

• System Name: Boston1
• Primary Address: <IP_address>

(Enter the IP address of a device on your network.)

4. Click OK.

The Creating Device window appears, and automapping of the device begins.

Depending on the device configuration, this process may take a few moments. After automapping the device, the NMC-RX application adds it to the Massachusetts group in the Network Workshop.

NOTE: Once the NMC-RX application starts automapping the device, if you close the Creating Device window or cancel the procedure, a confirmation dialog box appears.

5. Close the Creating Device dialog box.

The NMC-RX application acknowledges the creation of the Juniper RX device.

6. Click OK.

The new device appears immediately in the listing in the Network Workshop context area.
