Chapter 62 Configuring Call Home
Periodic Inventory Notification
Configuring HTTPS Support
Any pre-defined or user-defined destination profiles can be configured to enable or disable a particular
transport method. The transport methods are HTTP and email.
To enable or disable transport method for a destination profile, follow these steps:
Periodic Inventory Notification
You can configure the switch to periodically send a message with an inventory of all the software
services currently enabled and running on the switch along with hardware inventory information. The
inventory is modified each time the switch is restarted nondisruptively.
By default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. When you enable this
feature without configuring an interval value, the Call Home message is sent every 7 days. This value
ranges from 1 to 30 days.

follow these steps:
Step 1 Select a switch in the Fabric pane.
Step 2 Expand Switches, expand Events, and select Call Home in the Physical Attributes pane.
