License Management for Smart Licensing Using Policy, Using Cisco vManage |
Cisco SD-WAN operates together with Cisco SSM to provide license management through Cisco vManage for devices operating with Cisco SD-WAN. For this you have to implement a topology where Cisco vManage is connected to CSSM. For information about this topology, see the Connected to CSSM Through a Controller, and to know how to implement it, see the Workflow for Topology: Connected to CSSM Through a Controller sections of the Smart Licensing Using Policy for Cisco Enterprise Routing Platforms guide. For more information about Cisco vManage, see the License Management for Smart Licensing Using Policysection of the Cisco SD-WAN Getting Start Guide. For a more detailed overview on Cisco Licensing, go to cisco.com/go/licensingguide. |
