Procedure

1.

Remove the Call Home configuration by deregistering the device.

2.

Configure smart transport registration:

Example:


 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#license smart transport smart
 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#commit
3.

Restart the license process.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#process restart smartlicserver location 0/RP0/CPU0
Note

Use the process restart option only when you change between Call Home and Smart Transport options. It is not required when you configure Smart Transport at the time of fresh bring-up.
