2. Direct cloud access through an HTTPs proxy: In this method, Cisco products send usage information over
the internet through a proxy server - either a Call Home Transport Gateway or an off-the-shelf proxy
(such as Apache) to Cisco.com.
3. Mediated access through a connected on-premises collector: In this method, Cisco products send usage
information to a locally-connected collector, which acts as a local license authority. Periodically, this
information is exchanged to keep the databases synchronized.
4. Mediated access through a disconnected on-premises collector: In this method, Cisco products send usage
information to a local disconnected collector, which acts as a local license authority. Exchange of
human-readable information takes place occasionally (maybe once a month) to keep the databases
synchronized.
Options 1 and 2 provide an easy connection option, and options 3 and 4 provide a secure environment
connection option. Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem (formerly known as Cisco Smart Software
Manager satellite) provides support for options 3 and 4.
