Periodic Inventory Notification
You can configure the switch to periodically send a message with an inventory of all the software
services currently enabled and running on the switch along with hardware inventory information. The
inventory is modified each time the switch is restarted nondisruptively.
By default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. When you enable this
feature without configuring an interval value, the Call Home message is sent every 7 days. This value
ranges from 1 to 30 days.

Enabling Periodic Inventory Notifications Using the CLI

To enable periodic inventory notification in a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# callhome
switch(config-callhome)#
Step 3
switch(config-callhome)# periodic-inventory
notification
switch(config-callhome)# no
periodic-inventory notification
Step 4
switch(config-callhome)# periodic-inventory
notification interval 15
switch(config-callhome)# no
periodic-inventory notification interval 15

Duplicate Message Throttle

You can configure a throttling mechanism to limit the number of Call Home messages received for the
same event. If the same message is sent multiple times from the switch within a short period of time, you
may be swamped with a large number of duplicate messages.
By default, this feature is enabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. When enabled, if the
number of messages sent exceeds the maximum limit of 30 messages within the 2-hour time frame, then
further messages for that alert type are discarded within that time frame. You cannot modify the time
frame or the message counter limit.
If 2 hours have elapsed since the first such message was sent and a new message has to be sent, then the
new message is sent and the time frame is reset to the time when the new message was sent and the count
is reset to 1.
