command.

Defaults None
Command Modes cfg-call-home
Command History
Usage Guidelines You should configure no shut on an interface and provide a valid IP address before specifying it as a
source interface for Call Home. Doing this avoids a connection failure when sending Call Home email
messages. You should only specify a source interface name under Call Home if source-ip-address is not
specified. You can only specify either a source interface or source-ip-address in call-home mode, not
simultaneously.
Examples This example shows how to configure source interface for Call Home. Generally, the interface should
already be configured with a valid IP address as usually configured for an interface.
Switch# config terminal
Switch(config)# call-home
Switch(cfg-call-home)# source-interface fastEthernet 1/1
Switch(cfg-call-home)# source-ip
Switch(cfg-call-home)# source-ip-address 10.2.4.1
Error:a source-interface has already been configured,please remove source-interface config
first if you want to configure source-ip-address
Switch(cfg-call-home)# no source-interface
Switch(cfg-call-home)# source-ip-address 10.2.4.1
Note If Call Home is configured to use http or https as the transport method, you must use ip http client
source-interface to configure the source interface for all http clients. You cannot specify a source
interface for Call Home http messages only.
