Using Call Home
The Call Home feature allows you to configure switches to send alerts regarding
events and faults to Email addresses. Examples of Email destinations are pagers,
cell phones, NOC (Network Operations Center) operators/applications, and
support organizations. You can configure the type of events and where the alerts
are sent. Use the Call Home Setup dialog (Figure 4-19) to configure call home
parameters. To display the Call Home Setup dialog, open the Switch menu, select
Call Home, and select Setup.
Figure 4-19 Call Home Setup Dialog
Table 4-11 lists the entries in the Call Home Setup dialog.
Table 4-11. Call Home Setup Entries
Entry Description
Primary SMTP: (active) The "(active)" indicates the Primary SMTP (Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol) is the SMTP server that CallHome is
going to try to use when transmitting Email messages.
CallHome operates as an SMTP client, or more correctly,
and SMTP sending agent.
After any system configuration, the Primary SMTP server
will always become the active SMTP, provided it is
enabled and has a non-default address defined (0.0.0.0 is
the default).
