Display string from ports on switch is not being displayed in XMC

Display string from ports on switch is not being displayed in XMC

We have an X440G2 running 22.4.1.4 22.4.1.4-patch1-2 that correctly shows the configured port display string in the "Switch Port" column in XMC. We have another X440G2 running the same version of XOS but the display strings for each port are not showing up in XMC for that switch. We thought we had them configured the same, but clearly something is missing. What setting controls that information being polled from the switch?

Now that we are running 22.5.1.7-patch1-7 and MAC authentication, the "Switch Port" column is correctly showing what is configured via "display-string" so it seems like it was just an issue when using identity management.

The same configuration was performed on both switches.

Switch A (172.22.118.2) that shows the correct information in XMC:
configure ports 2:27 display-string Mac-mini
configure ports 1:25 display-string PatsC
configure ports 2:26 display-string RV-Public

Switch B (172.22.34.2) that does not show the correct information in XMC
configure ports 3:17 display-string LoeM
configure ports 1:41 display-string ScoS
configure ports 4:7 display-string SchR

Attached is an image showing this.

is it possible that you only set the switch local relevant display-string and NOT the snmp relevant description string on your EXOS device ??
