Synchronizing Policies Between Routing Engine and Packet Forwarding Engine
Problem
Description: Security policies are stored in both the Routing Engine and the Packet Forwarding Engine. After you modify a policy, you commit the configuration on the Routing Engine, and it is synchronized to the Packet Forwarding Engine.
Environment: The policies in the Routing Engine and Packet Forwarding Engine must be in sync for the configuration to be committed. However, under certain circumstances, policies in the Routing Engine and the Packet Forwarding Engine might be out of sync, which causes the commit to fail.
Symptoms: The following error message appears if you attempt to commit a configuration when the policies in the Routing Engine and Packet Forwarding Engine are out of sync: Policy is out of sync between RE and PFE <SPU-name(s)> Please resync before commit.
Solution
Synchronize the policies as follows:
- Reboot the device (standalone)
- Reboot the devices (chassis cluster)
