Question

Synchronizing FG with FMG

Hello,

 

Occasionally I'm doing changes directly on a FG that is managed from FMG and the FG goes out of sync. What is the correct process to re-sync the FG in such case?

 

Thanks

Andreas

    Ideally you wouldn't make any changes directly on a FGT that is managed by FMG. However you can make device-level setting changes (interfaces, SNMP settings, etc) w/o impacting the sync status in FMG - BUT - you need to make sure that the policy package is in sync beforehand. If the PP is out of sync, and you make device changes locally, FMG won't auto-sync those device changes from FGT.

     

    To re-sync settings, the safest way is to redo those changes on the FMG side and do a re-install to clear the change flag.

     

    You can do a re-import of the policy package but there can be complications with that, so I would avoid doing that unless there is no other option.
