Smart Call Home - Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Configuration Manual

Smart Call Home

System message logging is based on RFC 3164. For more information about the system message format and
the messages that the device generates, see the Cisco NX-OS System Messages Reference.
Smart Call Home
Call Home provides an e-mail-based notification of critical system policies. Cisco NX-OS provides a range
of message formats for optimal compatibility with pager services, standard e-mail, or XML-based automated
parsing applications. You can use this feature to page a network support engineer, e-mail a Network Operations
Center, or use Cisco Smart Call Home services to automatically generate a case with the Technical Assistance
Center.
Rollback
The rollback feature allows you to take a snapshot, or checkpoint, of the device configuration and then reapply
that configuration at any point without having to reload. Rollback allows any authorized administrator to
apply this checkpoint configuration without requiring expert knowledge of the features configured in the
checkpoint.
Session Manager allows you to create a configuration session and apply all commands within that session
atomically.
Session Manager
Session Manager allows you to create a configuration and apply it in batch mode after the configuration is
reviewed and verified for accuracy and completeness.
Scheduler
The scheduler allows you to create and manage jobs such as routinely backing up data or making quality of
service (QoS) policy changes. The scheduler can start a job according to your needs—only once at a specified
time or at periodic intervals.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol that provides a message
format for communication between SNMP managers and agents. SNMP provides a standardized framework
and a common language used for the monitoring and management of devices in a network.
RMON
Remote monitoring (RMON) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard monitoring specification
that allows various network agents and console systems to exchange network monitoring data. Cisco NX-OS
supports RMON alarms, events, and logs to monitor Cisco NX-OS devices.
