FTSA Messaging Service
The purpose of FTSA is to automatically send information about the switch to the network administrators
or Dell Force10 TAC, so that when there is a network problem, the relevant information is collected at the
time the problem manifests.

There are five FTSA message types (see
•
Type 0: Call Home Enable
•
Type 1: Call Home Disable
•
Type 2: Chassis failover
•
Type 3: Inventory
•
Type 4: System Log
•
Type 5: Action List
The E-mail body of every message always contains the message type, chassis name, transmission time,
and, when encrypted, the public encryption key.
FTSA is pre-configured to send PGP5-encrypted E-mails containing basic system inventory information to
the Dell Force10 Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at ftsa@force10networks.com, as shown in
Figure
16-2. However messaging (for all recipients) is disabled by default.
Note: You may not remove the Dell Force10 server label or default recipient, but you may modify either.
