Obtaining Smart Call Home
If you have a service contract directly with Cisco Systems, you can register your devices for the Smart
Call Home service. Smart Call Home provides fast resolution of system problems by analyzing Call
Home messages sent from your devices and providing background information and recommendations.
For issues that can be identified as known, particularly GOLD diagnostics failures, Automatic Service
Requests will be generated with the Cisco TAC.
Smart Call Home offers the following features:
•
Boot-up diagnostics alerts for line cards and supervisor engines in the chassis.
•
Analysis of Call Home messages from your device, and where appropriate Automatic Service
Request generation, routed to the appropriate TAC team, including detailed diagnostic information
to speed problem resolution.
•
Secure message transport directly from your device or through a downloadable Transport Gateway
(TG) aggregation point. You can use a TG aggregation point in cases requiring support for multiple
devices or in cases where security requirements mandate that your devices may not be connected
directly to the Internet.
•
Web-based access to Call Home messages and recommendations, inventory and configuration
information for all Call Home devices. Provides access to associated field notices, Security
Advisories, and End-of-Life information.
