Configuring Call Home Prerequisites for Call Home How to Obtain Smart Call Home Service If you have a service contract directly with Cisco Systems, you can register your Call Home devices for the Cisco 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, automatic Service Requests can be generated with the Cisco TAC. This depends on the Smart Call Home service support in place for your device and the severity of the alert. Smart Call Home offers the following features: • Analysis of Call Home messages from your device, and where supported, automatic Service Request generation routed to the appropriate TAC team, including detailed diagnostic information to speed problem resolution. • Continuous device health monitoring. • Analysis of Call Home messages from your device. • 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. You need the following items to register: • SMARTnet contract number for your router. • Your e-mail address • Your Cisco.com ID For information about how to configure Call Home to work with the Smart Call Home service, see the "How To Configure Call Home to Support the Smart Call Home Service" section on page 27. For detailed information on Smart Call Home, see the Smart Call Home page at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7334/serv_home.html Prerequisites for Call Home How you configure Call Home depends on how you intend to use the feature. Consider the following requirements before you configure Call Home: • Obtain e-mail, phone, and street address information for the Call Home contact to be configured so that the receiver can determine the origin of messages received. • Identify the name or IPv4 address of a primary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server and any backup servers, if using e-mail message delivery. • Configure a trustpoint certificate authority (CA) if using secure HTTP (HTTPS) message delivery. For example, this procedure is required if you are using the HTTPS server for Cisco Smart Call Home Service in the CiscoTAC-1 profile for Call Home. • Verify IP connectivity from the router to the e-mail server(s) or the destination HTTP server.
