Resync Device Configurations

While viewing the Devices in either the Table or Diagram view, you are alerted (by the out-of-sync icon in the
State
column) that you have devices that are out-of-sync.
This indicates that the running configuration for a specific device is not "in sync" with the saved device configuration, and should be brought back into sync to preserve the running configuration when the application is rebooted.
There are three ways to get the device back "into sync":
  • Using the
    Resync
    button provided in the
    General tab
    of Device Properties
  • Using the
    Schedule Manager
    to complete a config pull  
  • Using the option in the
    Devices View
    right-click menu  
Make sure you refresh the Devices view after each resync is completed
.
Using the Resync button,
  1. To bring a single device, or
    multiple devices
    configuration back into "sync", display the devices using the Table layout.
  2. From the Navigation tree, display the listing of devices to determine if you have any devices out of sync, as indicated by the icon outofsync_iconin the
    State
    column.  
  3. Next, select that single device, or select multiple devices from the list, then click the
    Properties
    icon on the menu bar.
     
    This Resync button is only available if there are any "out-of-sync devices" in the Device list.
     
  4. With the Device Properties displayed, go to the
    General
    tab.  With the device selected, click the
    Resync
    button.  The
    Schedule Push Job
    window opens, where you complete the information needed for the push job.

  5. See Schedule Push Job for details on how to complete this action, including how to work with each tab.
  6. After the application completes a Config pull (to bring the device configuration into sync)
    select the
    Refresh
    icon to refresh your Devices view.
The device is no longer in the "out-of-sync" state in the Devices View. This indicates that the device's running configuration is now identical to the start-up configuration .
