Configuring Call Home
Call Home provides e-mail-based notification of critical system events. A versatile range of message
formats are available for optimal compatibility with pager services, standard e-mail, or XML-based
automated parsing applications. Common uses of this feature may include direct paging of a network
support engineer, e-mail notification to a Network Operations Center, and utilization of Cisco
AutoNotify services for direct case generation with the Technical Assistance Center.
The Call Home feature provides message throttling capabilities. Periodic inventory messages, port
syslog messages and RMON alert messages are added to the list of deliverable Call Home messages. If
required you can also use the Cisco Fabric Services application to distribute the Call Home configuration
to all other switches in the fabric.
