System management
The system management component of the UTM Manager comprises four modules: “ Device
management ”, “ Operator management ”, “ System configuration ”, and license management. License
management is covered in “ Registering the UTM Manager .” This chapter discusses the other three
modules.
The device management module allows you to add devices to be managed, assign devices to device
groups, configure the IP addresses, SNMP parameters, and other necessary management information,
and manage devices based on device groups. It also enables you to track and monitor the operation of
managed devices. To manage a device through SecCenter, you must add the device to SecCenter first.
The operator management module allows you to add operators, specify passwords, assign different
rights to different operators, authorize different operators to manage different devices, monitor operators’
operations by viewing operation logs.
The system configuration module allows you to configure SecCenter management parameters, such as
the ports for receiving various logs from managed devices, centralized policy deployment, signature
synchronization configuration, and alarm configuration.
Device management
The device management module allows you to perform the following tasks:
• Managing device groups
• Managing device access templates
• Managing devices
• Managing device software
• Managing the device configuration
• Managing the device software database
• Managing deployment tasks
• Managing events
• Configuring device interface alarming
Managing device groups
A device group represents a group of devices. You can group devices into device groups to manage
devices easily. For example, you can configure device groups based on the architecture of your
organization and name them Headquarters, Branch 1, Branch 2, and so on. Later, when adding an
operator, you can specify the device groups that the operator can manage and the operations the
operator can perform, so as to allow different operators to manage different devices and perform
different operations.
The device group management function allows you to add, modify, and delete device groups. When you
add devices later, you can assign devices to device groups so that you can manage and collect statistics
on users, devices, and IP addresses by device group.
