Call Home vs Smart Transport (Smart Licensing)

✅ 1. Purpose & Role

Call Home

  • Originally designed as a generic messaging and alerting mechanism (e.g., TAC alerts, diagnostics, telemetry).
  • Later adapted as a legacy transport option for Smart Licensing.
  • Still works, but not the preferred method for modern Smart Licensing workflows.

Smart Transport

  • A transport mechanism created specifically for Smart Licensing communication with Cisco CSSM.
  • Provides more reliable and streamlined license registration, reporting, and authorization.
  • Recommended by Cisco as the default licensing transport.
