Resynchronizing Managed Devices

You can resynchronize a managed device at any time. For example, when a managed device is updated by a device administrator from the device's native GUI or CLI, you can resynchronize the device configuration in the Junos Space database with the physical device.

To resynchronize a device:

  1. From the task ribbon, select the Devices workspace icon.
  2. From the task ribbon, select the Manage Devices icon.

    The Manage Devices inventory panel displays the list of managed devices by name and IP address.

  3. Select one or more devices to resynchronize:

    • To select a single device, from the Manage Devices inventory panel, click on the thumbnail image for the device.
    • To select multiple devices, select Multiple from the top of the Quick Look panel, then select the thumbnail images for the devices that you want to resynchronize from the Manage Devices inventory panel. The selected devices are displayed in the Quick Look panel, as shown in the following example.

  4. From the Actions panel, click Resynchronize with Network to reimport the devices in Junos Space.

    Junos Space displays the Resynchronize Devices window.

  5. Click Confirm.

    Junos Space starts resynchronizing the device and displays the Resynchronization Information window, as shown in the example.

  6. Click on the Job ID to view details about the device resynchronization, or click OK to close the window.

    When a resync job is scheduled to run but another resync job on the same device is in progress, Junos Space delays the scheduled resync job. The time delay is determined by the damper interval that you can set from the application workspace. By default the time delay is 20 seconds. The scheduled job is delayed as long as the other resync job to the same device is in progress. When the job that is currently running finishes, the scheduled resync job starts.

    For information about setting the damper interval to change the time delay for resync, see Modifying Application Settings.
