source-ip-address

To send out Call Home email messages with specific source IP address, use the source-ip-address
command.
Syntax Description ip address
Defaults
None
Command Modes cfg-call-home
Command History Release

Usage Guidelines
It is best to configure no shut an interface with this valid IP address before specifying it as
source-ip-address for Call Home. Doing this avoids a connection failure when sending Call Home email
messages. You should only specify source-ip-address under Call Home if source-interface is not
specified. You can only specify either source interface or source-ip-address in Call Home mode, not both
simultaneously.
Examples This example shows how to configure source-ip-address for Call Home:
Switch# config terminal
Switch(config)# call-home
Switch(cfg-call-home)# source-interface fastEthernet 1/1
Switch(cfg-call-home)# source-ip
Switch(cfg-call-home)# source-ip-address 10.2.4.1
Error:a source-interface has already been configured,please remove source-interface config
first if you want to configure source-ip-address
Switch(cfg-call-home)# no source-interface
Switch(cfg-call-home)# source-ip-address 10.2.4.1
