Configuring Anonymous Reporting and Smart Call Home
Configuring the Mail Server
We recommend that you use HTTPS for message transport, as it is the most secure. However, you can
configure an e-mail destination for Smart Call Home and then configure the mail server to use the e-mail
message transport.
To configure the mail server, perform this task:
This example shows the configuration of a primary mail server (named”smtp.example.com”) and a
secondary mail server at IP address 10.10.1.1:
hostname# configure terminal
hostname(config)# call-home
ciscoasa(cfg-call-home)# mail-server smtp.example.com priority 1
ciscoasa(cfg-call-home)# mail-server 10.10.1.1 priority 2
ciscoasa(cfg-call-home)# exit
hostname(config)#
Configuring Call Home Traffic Rate Limiting
You can configure this optional setting to specify the number of messages that Smart Call Home sends
per minute.
To configure Smart Call Home traffic rate limiting, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1 call-home
Example:
hostname(config)# call-home
Enters call home configuration mode.
Step 2 mail-server ip-address | name priority 1-100 all
Example:
ciscoasa(cfg-call-home)# mail-server 10.10.1.1
smtp.example.com priority 1
Specifies the SMTP mail server. Customers can
specify up to five mail servers. At least one mail
server is required for using e-mail transport for
Smart Call Home messages.
The lower the number, the higher the priority of the
mail server.
The ip-address option can be an IPv4 or IPv6 mail
server address.
Command Purpose
Step 1 call-home
Example:
hostname(config)# call-home
Enters call home configuration mode.
Step 2 rate-limit msg-count
Example:
ciscoasa(cfg-call-home)# rate-limit 5
Specifies the number of messages that Smart Call
Home can send per minute. The default value is 10
messages per minute.
