Prerequisites 

Before you start, ensure that you have the following: 

• A Cisco Smart Account 

• A valid CCO User ID and Password that has access to the Smart Account or Virtual Account. 

• Admin Access to SSM On-Prem

Steps

To resolve the connectivity issue with On-Prem for already registered devices, please try the steps below for troubleshooting: 

Step 1: Check the connectivity of the device to the On-Prem server using the “ping/telnet” command.

• ping <on-prem server IP address>

Step 2: If there is a proxy between the On-prem server and device, check if the proxy is allowing the traffic from the device to the On-Prem. If not, check with the proxy team to fix the issue.

Step 3: If no issues are seen in steps 1 and 2 above, try executing the “license smart renew auth” command for SL devices and the “license smart sync local” for SLP devices from the device CLI. Wait for some time and check if the renewal is successful. 

Step 4: If you are seeing the “Product Instance failed to connect” alert in the On-Prem GUI under the Product Instances tab, remove the device from On-Prem and re-register the device.
