3. Product Instance Configuration
Where tasks are performed: Product Instance
a. Ensuring Network Reachability for Product Instance-Initiated Communication, on page 139
b. Ensure that transport type is set to cslu.
CSLU is the default transport type. If you have configured a different option, enter the license smart
transport cslu command in global configuration mode. Save any changes to the configuration file.
Device(config)# license smart transport cslu
Device(config)# exit
Device# copy running-config startup-config
c. Specify how you want CSLU to be discovered (choose one):
• Option 1:
No action required. Name server configured for Zero-touch DNS discovery of cslu-local
Here, if you have configured DNS (The name server IP address is configured on the product
instance), and the DNS server has an entry where hostname cslu-local is mapped to the CSLU
IP address, then no further action is required. The product instance automatically discovers
hostname cslu-local.
• Option 2:
No action required. Name server and domain configured for Zero-touch DNS discovery of
cslu-local.<domain>
Here if you have configured DNS, (The name server IP address and domain is configured on the
product instance), and the DNS server has an entry where cslu-local.<domain> is mapped to
the CSLU IP address, then no further action is required. The product instance automatically
discovers hostname cslu-local.
• Option 3:
Configure a specific URL for CSLU.
Enter the license smart url cslu http://<cslu_ip_or_host>:8182/cslu/v1/pi command in global
configuration mode. For <cslu_ip_or_host>, enter the hostname or the IP address of the windows
host where you have installed CSLU. 8182 is the port number and it is the only port number that
CSLU uses.
Device(config)# license smart url cslu http://192.168.0.1:8182/cslu/v1/pi
Device(config)# exit
Device# copy running-config startup-config
Result:
Since the product instance initiates communication, it automatically sends out the first RUM report at the
scheduled time, as per the policy. Along with this first report, if applicable and if required, it sends a trust
code request. To know when the product instance will be sending this information, enter the show license all
command in privileged EXEC mode and in the output, check the date for field Next report push:.
CSLU forwards the information to CSSM and the returning ACK from CSSM, to the product instance.
In case of a change in license usage, see Configuring a License , on page 163 to know how it affects reporting.
