Manually Synchronizing Individual Virtual Context Configurations

Use this procedure if you want to manually synchronize the configuration for a selected virtual context.

This procedure removes the configuration information for this virtual context from ACE Appliance

Device Manager and replaces it with its CLI configuration from the ACE appliance. You may want to

manually synchronize a virtual context configuration if you do not want to wait for auto synchronization

to occur and you want the CLI context configuration changes immediately applied to the ACE Appliance

Device Manager.

Procedure

Step 1 Choose Config > Virtual Contexts.

The All Virtual Contexts table appears. Contexts with configurations that are not synchronized display

Out of sync in the CLI Sync Status column.

Note If a user changes the configuration for a context by using the CLI while you are viewing the All

Virtual Contexts table, the information in the CLI Sync Status column is not automatically

updated to reflect an out-of-sync state. Click Refresh or set an automatic refresh rate by clicking

Auto Refresh to view out-of-sync configurations.

Step 2 Choose the virtual context with the configuration that you want to synchronize and then click CLI Sync.

A window appears, asking you to confirm the operation.

Step 3 Click OK to upload the configuration from the ACE appliance or Cancel to exit this procedure without

uploading the configuration.

If you click OK, the screen reports progress and then refreshes with updated configuration status in the

CLI Sync Status column.
