Note
After successfully enabling Call Home either in anonymous or full
registration mode using the
call-home reporting
command, an inventory
message is sent out. If Call Home is enabled in anonymous mode, an
anonymous inventory message is sent out. If Call Home is enabled in full
registration mode, a Full Inventory message for full registration mode is
sent. For more information about what is sent in these messages, see the
Alert Group Trigger Events and Commands, on page 268
.
Note
Configuring and Enabling Smart Call Home
For application and configuration information about the Cisco Smart Call Home service, see the
. See also the
page for Smart Call Home.
The user guide includes configuration examples for sending Smart Call Home messages directly from your
device or through a transport gateway (TG) aggregation point.
For security reasons, we recommend that you use the HTTPS transport options, due to the additional
payload encryption that HTTPS offers. The Transport Gateway software is downloadable from Cisco.com
and is available if you require an aggregation point or a proxy for connection to the Internet.
Note
The implementation on the Cisco CSR 1000v supports the trustpool feature (embedded CA certificates in IOS
images). The trustpool feature simplifies configuration to enable Smart Call Home service on configured
devices. It eliminates the requirement of manually configuring the trustpoint and provides automatic update
of the CA certificate should it change in the future.
