Chapter 1 Configuring Smart Call Home
Configuring Call Home
This example shows how to configure the e-mail options for Call Home messages:
switch# configuration terminal
switch(config)# callhome
switch(config-callhome)# transport email smtp-server 192.0.2.10 use-vrf Red
switch(config-callhome)# transport email from person@company.com
switch(config-callhome)# transport email reply-to person@company.com
Configuring Periodic Inventory Notification
You can configure the switch to periodically send a message with an inventory of all software services
currently enabled and running on the device along with hardware inventory information. The switch
generates two Call Home notifications, periodic configuration messages and periodic inventory
messages.
To configure periodic inventory notification, perform this task:
This example shows how to configure the periodic inventory messages to generate every 20 days:
switch# configuration terminal
switch(config)# callhome
switch(config-callhome)# periodic-inventory notification interval 20
Disabling Duplicate Message Throttle
You can limit the number of duplicate messages received for the same event. By default, the switch limits
the number of duplicate messages received for the same event. If the number of duplicate messages sent
exceeds 30 messages within a 2-hour time frame, then the switch discards further messages for that alert
type.
To disable duplicate message throttling in Call Home configuration mode, perform this task:
