Understanding the Control Manager Agent for NetScreen™ Firewall

Control Manager administers NetScreen firewalls through the NetScreen-Global PRO security management system. You can indirectly manage all firewalls that are compatible with Global PRO through Control Manager.

Control Manager applies outbreak prevention policies to NetScreen-Global PRO managed product — using Outbreak Prevention Services (OPS). Control Manager adds the port blocking instructions in outbreak prevention policies as policies in Global PRO�s Policy Builder.

Therefore, the agent for NetScreen Firewall operates "remotely." You must install the Control Manager agent for NetScreen on the Control Manager server that manages the NetScreen Global-PRO firewall management software.
