Call Home Setup dialog box fields

Field

Description

Primary SMTP: (active)

(active)

indicates that the Primary SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer

Protocol) is the SMTP server that Call Home uses when transmitting email

messages. Call Home operates as an SMTP sending agent.
After any system configuration, the Primary SMTP server becomes the

active SMTP server, if it is enabled and has a non-default address defined

(0.0.0.0 is the default).

Primary SMTP Server

Address:

IP address of the primary (first) SMTP server

Primary SMTP Server Port:

Service port number that the primary SMTP server is listening on to accept

connections from SMTP sending agents

Secondary SMTP:

Secondary SMTP server. If the primary SMTP is not enabled/defined, or if

there is a failure in communicating with the primary SMTP server, the Call

Home feature uses the secondary SMTP server to transmit emails.

Secondary SMTP Server

Address:

IP address of the secondary SMTP server

Secondary SMTP Server

Port:

Service port number that the secondary SMTP server is listening on to

accept connection from SMTP sending agents

Contact Email Address:

Email address of the point-of-contact for the switch. This email address is

included in the text of email messages using the FullText format under the

section for Contact Information.

Phone Number:

Phone number of the point-of-contact for the switch. This value is included

in the text of email messages using the FullText format under the section for

Contact Information.

Street Address:

Address of the point-of-contact for the switch. This value is included in the

text of email messages using the FullText format under the section for

Contact Information.

From Email Address:

Email address that is provided to the SMTP server indicating the sender of

the email being transmitted. In emails sent by Call Home, this address

appears in the message heading as the From: address. This value is

required to send emails. If there are any problems encountered in routing

the email to any of the intended recipients, the notice of the problem is

sent to this address. It is an important address for receiving email notices

concerning problems.
This address is also the default address used when replies are sent to an

email by a recipient. If the Reply-To: Email address is supplied it overrides

the sending of replies to the From: Email address by recipients. However,

any notifications of email problems sent by any SMTP server used to route

the message to the final recipient always sends those notifications to the

From: address.
