Resolving Mismatches
After adding a device, the new device will appear in AirWave as two devices: the first is the Virtual Controller for
that Instant network, and the second is the access point itself. In some cases, the Instant device shows up as
having Mismatched configuration. This occurs when the AirWave information was received from Instant via the
DHCP server (i.e, was not manually configured). The method for resolving mismatches varies based on whether
Instant Config is enabled.

Resolving Mismatches when Instant Config is Disabled
When Instant Config is disabled, configuration for IAP devices is done via the Instant UI. In this case, AirWave is
used to monitor the devices, and when necessary, to update the Instant template and variables within the
template.
Clicking on the mismatched device opens the audit page of the device, showing the reason for the mismatch. The
configuration shows the desired configuration versus the current Instant configuration. As shown in the
following image, the AirWave IP address, shared secret, and organization string has to be provisioned on the
Instant device.
