The tool is offline. You gather the info about the network, upload it
in IBLM-specific file to special site at cisco.com, and then some
internal tools working in internal network do their own magic, producing
the final report back by e-mail/portal file access.

*If* you have valid CCO account you can script the use of many tools
there are on the CCO to do your own magic. It will take a lot longer
however, and be prone to errors, malfunctions/etc.
