Result:
You can now collect and send a RUM report to CSSM, in CSLU, by navigating to the Actions for Selected
menu, and selecting Collect Usage. If applicable the report also includes a trust code request and authorization
code request.
Since CSLU is disconnected from CSSM, you must save usage data which CSLU has collected from the
product instance to a file. Then, from a workstation that is connected to Cisco, upload it to CSSM. After this,
download the ACK from CSSM. In the workstation where CSLU is installed and connected to the product
instance, upload the file to CSLU.
In case of a change in license usage, see
Workflow for Topology: No Connectivity to CSSM and No CSLU
Since you do not have to configure connectivity to any other component, the list of tasks required to set-up
the topology is a small one. See, the Results section at the end of the workflow to know how you can complete
requisite usage reporting after you have implemented this topology.

Result:
All communication to and from the product instance is disabled. To report license usage you must save RUM
reports to a file (on your product instance) and upload it to CSSM (from a workstation that has connectivity
to the internet, and Cisco):
1. Generate and save RUM reports
Enter the license smart save usage command in privileged EXEC mode. In the example below, all RUM
reports are saved to the flash memory of the product instance, in file
