Description

Config failed with error "Got error(s) when generating config: endpoint for vpn_path [xxxxxx] unknown, skipped (try reprovision hub with this path)" 

Symptoms

Below error seen in the WAN Edge Insights upon syncing configuration from MIST to SSR.


Config failed with error "Got error(s) when generating config: endpoint for vpn_path [xxxxxx] unknown, skipped (try reprovision hub with this path)" 

Solution

The error message indicates that the peer path overlay selected in the Spoke configuration doesn't exist on the hub.


The Overlay endpoint names on the spoke should match the endpoint names present on the hub. Once the names match, then the adjacency can be formed between the spoke and the hub.


In order to fix this issue, you need to modify the spoke template and change the overlay endpoint name to make it similar to the endpoint present on the hub. After making the change, save the template and sync the configuration from the spoke to the hub.
