Solved: Smart Licensing - mac address, hostname and IP address sync

axeleratorcisco · ‎06-15-2023

I have an ISE node, ready to activate it's license. I read that syncing with CSSM will in basis send license status information, but also things like hostname, ip address and mac address to CSSM.

Is there a possibility to turn off sending this additional information to CSSM and if so how?

Usually you need to generate the token from your smart account and use it to connect ISE to the smart account. I'm not sure if the MAC and IP addresses will be sent over, but I'm sure the host names and the serial numbers will be sent. I don't believe you have any control under what will be sent and not as there is not such control section on ISE and smart account portal that I'm aware of.
