List of IP/URL for Smart Licensing (Direct cloud access)

[ShankarP]

Hi Experts, can we restrict the CUCM 12.0 outbound https access to list of IP/URLs, for the smart licensing to function? Thanks

Direct - product communicates directly with Cisco licensing servers.
URL :	https://tools.cisco.com/its/service/oddce/services/DDCEService

Hi Jaime,
Can't open the link you shared. I am also looking for something similar. More so for Cat 9K accessing the smart licensing on Cisco.com. I believe the same whitelist should work for both Collab and Switching products.

That's the URL to which products communicate, not a link where the info is.

Any idea what IPs/subnets tools.cisco.com is using? thanks

Dear All,

Please help me on IPs for smartreceiver.cisco.com to allow access on firewall.

Hi Amojarra,

when I do a nslookup tools.cisco.com the result is: 72.163.4.38
when I do a nslookup smartreceiver.cisco.com the result is: 173.36.127.32

both are not in your list.. any idea?

Thanks in advance,

Wim

Hi @wimhasselo 

Yes the IP addresses are not fixed. 

from DNS records for smartreceiver.xglb.cisco.com — NsLookup.io  I can see some other new IPs
