9. Select Save and Apply to push the configuration to all of the devices in the group. If the devices are in
monitor-only mode (which is recommended while you are crafting changes to a template or creating a new
one), then AMP will audit the devices and compare their current configuration to the one defined in the
template.
NOTE: If you set the reboot flag to No, then some changes could result in configuration mismatches until the AP is rebooted.
For example, changing the SSID on Cisco IOS APs requires the AP to be rebooted. Two other settings that
require the AP to be rebooted for configuration change are Logging and NTP. A configuration mismatch
results if the AP is not rebooted.
If logging and NTP service are not required according to the Group configuration, but are enabled on the AP,
you would see a configuration file mismatch as follows if the AP is not rebooted:

10. Once the template is correct and all mismatches are verified on the APs/Devices > Audit configuration page,
use the Modify Devices link on the Groups > Monitor configuration page to place the desired devices into
Management mode. This removes the APs from Monitor mode (read-only) and instructs the AP to pull down
its new startup configuration file from AMP.
NOTE: Devices can be placed into Management mode individually from the

Using Template Syntax

Template syntax is comprised of the following components, described in this section:
