Call Home concepts
The Call Home service improves fabric availability by notifying administrators by e-mail of events that
affect switch operation. The Call Home service is active by default and is controlled by the
set setup services
command. To display the Call Home service status, enter the
show setup services
command.
For a better understanding of the Call Home service, consider the following:

Call Home requirements
In addition to enabling the Call Home service, you must also do the following to ensure that e-mail
messages can be sent:
•
Configure the Call Home service. The Call Home service configuration consists of primary and
secondary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server specifications and contact information. You must
enable and specify an address and service port for at least one SMTP server. See ”
Configuring the Call
Home service
” on page 114.
•
Configure the Call Home database. The Call Home database allows up to 25 Call Home profiles. Each
profile defines the following:
• Event severity levels (Alarm, Critical, Warn) that will initiate an e-mail message
• E-mail message format and subject
• E-mail recipients
Having multiple profiles makes it possible to notify different audiences based on any combination of
event severity, message format (short or full), or message length. You configure profiles using the
profile
command in a Callhome Edit session. See ”
Managing the Call Home database
” on
page 115.
•
Ensure that each switch that is to support Call Home e-mail notification has its own Ethernet connection.
To test your Call Home service and database configurations, enter the
callhome test
command. See
”
Testing a Call Home profile
” on page 121.
