Multi-Instance Management

A core feature of Netgate^® Nexus is multi-instance management (MIM). The Netgate^® Nexus controller is capable of managing multiple installations of pfSense^® Plus software from a single host. The Netgate^® Nexus controller includes a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) and an API.

Using the Netgate^® Nexus GUI MIM functionality, administrators can:

• See quick at-a-glance status of local and remote pfSense^® Plus software installations.

• Configure the local pfSense^® Plus software installation using a new single page application interface.

• Configure multiple remote pfSense^® Plus software installations paired with the controller using a new single page application interface.

• Open remote interactive consoles similar to an SSH connection.
