Description

This Knowledge Base article describes a scenario where a newly configured Application Policy, which uses a non-directly connected host as the source criteria, is not being pushed to the device. It provides troubleshooting steps to resolve it.

Symptoms

  • The Application Policy configurations can be seen in the Audit Logs section.
  • Multiple attempts to reconfigure the Application Policy in different ways have been made without success.
  • The policy works fine with directly connected hosts as source criteria.
  • Only some routing instances configurations are pushed to the device, but the rest of the policy is not.
  • Since the policy is not being pushed, the traffic hits the default policy and is therefore dropped.
  • The configuration is managed by the Mist Cloud.
  • Configuring a security policy directly on the CLI works, indicating that routing and security configurations are correct.
  • A health check on the device does not reveal any related issues.

Solution

To address the misconfiguration issue where a non-directed connected host is not being pushed to the device as part of the Application Policy, follow these steps:

  • 1. Add Non-Directed Host to Users Section:
    • Using the Network attached to the source of this traffic, add the non-directed connected host to the Users section.
  • 2. Ensure Network Reference in LAN Configuration:
    • Ensure that the Network used in step 1 is already referenced in the LAN configuration. If it is not, configure it accordingly.
  • 3. Reference the Network in the Application Policy:
    • In the Application Policies section, reference the same Network configured in step 1 and 2 as the source criteria, assuming that the rest of the criteria are ready.

Following these steps should resolve the misconfiguration issue and allow the Application Policy to be successfully pushed to the device.
