Switching

I did some checking by comparing the config on the switch vs what the Mist dashboard download shows. It looks like nothing applied to the switch via a Org template is NOT shown in the download.  Is this the expected behavior? 

I wanted to confirm the config as known by mist matches the config on a switch, before enabling "Manage by Mist" on the switch.  I hoped the download would confirm what would get pushed out. I put the bulk of the config from the switch in the site template under the specific switch section under the "CLI" tab.  If the download does not include settings from the template, then I hope I could put both the download file and the config from the CLI in a text file and THAT would represent the config pushed by Mist. 

Can someone confirm this would be a correct assumption?

• The download Junos config option from the Mist dashboard shows the configuration that Mist would push to the switch, if the device is not "managed" by Mist.
• Mist shows the below information when the download Junos config option is exercised for a device with config management disabled, confirming that only the "intended" configuration will be managed, not the actual device configuration.

What I am trying to confirm is the template part of the switch config vs the config that is listed on the screen for the switch specifically, The download did not contain the template based portion of the config. I need the Mist dashboard to push ALL of the config to the switch when I enable management.

If the template is assigned to the site of the switch, the switch screen and config download will display both(ALL) the template configuration and any local configurations on the switch. If the template is not assigned to the switch's site, or the switch isn't assigned to a site, the config download will only show the switch's local configuration. Is the switch assigned to a site, and is a template assigned to that site?

An alternate way to check all the set commands that Mist will push to the switch, is by using the following URL - 

https://api.ac5.mist.com/api/v1/sites/<site-id>/devices/<device-id>/config_cmd

The site-id and the device-ID can be found out from the URL of the switch's page. E.g.

site-id - 0106111b-da0d-4fcb-a9c5-5df98ba3dbd9

device-id - 00000000-0000-0000-1000-020004696c3a

The part api.ac5.mist.com will depend on the cloud on which the org is hosted (APAC/EMAE, etc). From the above URL that shows up on your switch's page, replace manage. with api. to form the URL to see the set commands for the config push.

"If the template is assigned to the site of the switch, the switch screen and config download will display both(ALL) the template configuration and any local configurations on the switch."

That is not what I am seeing.  I do not see the configuration in the template in the downloaded config supplied by the dashboard.  Since the switch needs the AE configurations to function properly, which I have placed in the template " additional CLI " section for this switch, I am concerned that when I enable Mist Management, those settings will be removed from the switch.

Is it possible to share screenshots of the template and the switch details page? Is the template name visible in the properties section of the switch's detail page (as below)

If all is correct, the downloaded config should show the configuration inherited from the template + configuration locally defined on the switch's detail page.
