Description

In some infrequent scenarios you might notice some network devices have a different configuration than the config applied via Mist UI.


Symptoms

- Comparing the CLI output of a working switch vs a non-working switch reveals that only the working switch reflects the full updated configuration.

- This behavior could be observed despite having the same Mist config template inherited by both switches — the issue is that some devices configuration might go out of sync with Mist.

Solution

Manually resync the configuration on the affected switches:

 

1- In the Mist dashboard, navigate to the affected switch.

2 - Go to Utilities > Sync Configuration.

3 - Allow a few minutes for the configuration to be pushed and applied to the device.

4 - Verify via CLI that the switch now reflects the correct Mist Auth / RADIUS configuration.

5 - Repeat this process for all remaining switches whose config is out of sync.

 

Note: No template changes are required. The template configuration is correct — only a resync is needed to push the existing configuration to the affected devices.
