Chapter 3 Managing the Device Inventory
Adding Devices to the Device Inventory
System Context Whether to discover the system execution space of a PIX Firewall 7,
ASA, or FWSM device that is running in multiple-context mode. If you
are discovering a device that hosts multiple security contexts, whether
you select this checkbox has important implications in how you can
configure the device in Security Manager. What gets discovered on the
device also depends on whether you select the Discover Policies for
Security Contexts checkbox.
• Both System Context and Discover Policies for Security
Contexts selected—This is the recommended selection. Security
Manager discovers the system execution space and all of the
security contexts defined on the device, and lists them in the device
selector. The base display name represents the system execution
space (for example, 10.10.11.24), whereas the security contexts are
represented by nodes with the context name appended to the device
name (for example, 10.10.11.24_admin), unless you changed the
default naming convention configured on the Discovery page (see
Discovery Page, page 11-21).
• System Context selected, Discover Policies for Security
Contexts deselected—The system execution space is discovered
and added to the device selector. You can then discover the policies
for the security contexts at a later time. This method might be
appropriate if you have one group of people who discover
inventory and another group that discovers policies.
• Neither checkbox selected—Only the Admin context gets
discovered and added to the device selector. You cannot discover
the other security contexts or manage them.
