Last Modified: Apr 28, 2025

Affected Product(s):

Opened: Aug 06, 2015

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

ASM Sync was designed to only request the ASM portion of the configuration if it recognizes that a peer has a newer configuration. This precluded the ability to 'roll back' changes on a device by pushing from the peer that still has the older configuration.

Impact

User is unable to 'roll back' changes on a device by pushing from the peer that has an older configuration.

Conditions

Devices are set up in an Incremental Manual Sync ASM-enabled group.

Workaround

Make a spurious change on the device that has an older configuration and then push the changes to the peer.

Fix Information

Older ASM configurations can now be pushed to a peer in an incremental sync manual device group.
