License Consumption Report Upload Support for Cisco AireOS Controllers

Cisco AireOS Controllers don't recognize Cisco DNA Center licenses and Network licenses and therefore can't send license utilization details directly to Cisco SSM. If you register Cisco DNA Center to a specific smart account and virtual account in Cisco SSM, Cisco DNA Center uploads the license utilization details on behalf of Cisco AireOS Controllers to Cisco SSM.

You can view and manage the certificates that Cisco DNA Center issues for managed devices to authenticate and identify the devices.
