www.dell.com | support.dell.com FTSA Messaging Service The purpose of FTSA is to automatically send information about the switch to the network administrators or Dell Force10 TAC, so that when there is a network problem, the relevant information is collected at the time the problem manifests. • Enable the FTSA Messaging Service • Add Additional Recipients of FTSA E-mails • Encrypt FTSA Messages • Provide Administrator Contact Information • Set the Frequency of FTSA Type 3 Messages • Generate FTSA Type 4 Messages • Set Parameters FTSA Type 5 Messages Enable the FTSA Messaging Service There are five FTSA message types (refer to FTSA Message Types for examples): • Type 0: Call Home Enable • Type 1: Call Home Disable • Type 2: Chassis failover • Type 3: Inventory • Type 4: System Log • Type 5: Action List The E-mail body of every message always contains the message type, chassis name, transmission time, and, when encrypted, the public encryption key. FTSA is pre-configured to send PGP5-encrypted E-mails containing basic system inventory information to the Dell Force10 the Dell Force10 Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at [email protected], as shown in the example in Add Additional Recipients of FTSA E-mails. However messaging (for all recipients) is disabled by default. Note: You may not remove the Dell Force10 server label or default recipient, but you may modify either. You must still explicitly enable messaging for each recipient, including the default recipient. Each recipient has a (user-configurable) mnemonic label. FTOS creates a CLI context based on this label from which you can enable messaging and modify the E-mail parameters for the recipient. You can enter the context for a recipient by entering the command server label from the CALLHOME context. For example, the default label is Force10. Enter the context conf-callhome-Force10 by entering the command server Force10, as shown in the example in Add Additional Recipients of FTSA E-mails. 346 | Force10 Service Agent
