Configuring Destination Profiles

A destination profile contains the required delivery information for an alert notification. At least one
destination profile is required. You can configure multiple destination profiles of one or more types.
You can use the predefined destination profile or define a desired profile. If you define a new destination
profile, you must assign a profile name.
If you use the Cisco Smart Call Home service, the destination profile must use the XML message format.

Profile name—A string that uniquely identifies each user-defined destination profile. The profile
name is limited to 31 characters and is not case-sensitive. You cannot use all as a profile name.
Transport method—The transport mechanism, either e-mail or HTTP (including HTTPS), for
delivery of alerts.
For user-defined destination profiles, e-mail is the default, and you can enable either or both
–
transport mechanisms. If you disable both methods, e-mail will be enabled.
– For the predefined Cisco TAC profile, you can enable either transport mechanism, but not both.
Destination address—The actual address related to the transport method to which the alert should
be sent.
Message formatting—The message format used for sending the alert.
For user-defined destination profiles, the format options are long-text, short-text, or XML. The
–
default is XML.
– For the predefined Cisco TAC profile, only XML is allowed.
Message size—The maximum destination message size. The valid range is 50 to 3,145,728 bytes
and the default is 3,145,728 bytes.
