Configuring Call Home
How to Configure Call Home

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide
You can configure the following attributes for a destination profile:
Profile name—A string that uniquely identifies each user-defined destination profile. The profile
name is limited to 31 characters and is not case-sensitive. You cannot use
all
as a profile name.
Transport method—The transport mechanism, either e-mail or HTTP (including HTTPS), for
delivery of alerts.
For user-defined destination profiles, e-mail is the default, and you can enable one or both
transport mechanisms. If you disable both methods, e-mail is enabled.
For the predefined Cisco TAC profile, you can enable either transport mechanism, but not both.
Destination address—The actual address related to the transport method to which the alert should
be sent.
Message formatting—The message format used for sending the alert. The format options for a
user-defined destination profile are long-text, short-text, or XML. The default is XML. For the
predefined Cisco TAC profile, only XML is allowed. If you use the Cisco Smart Call Home service,
the destination profile must use the XML message format.
Message size—The maximum destination message size. The valid range is 50 to 3,145,728 bytes
and the default is 3,145,728 bytes.

Configuring a Destination Profile to Send Email Messages
To configure Call Home to send email messages, complete the following tasks:
Configuring the Mail Server, page 6
Associating the Management Interface VRF With Call Home, page 7
Configuring a Destination Profile for E-mail, page 8
Configuring Other Email Options, page 10
Configuring the Mail Server
To use the e-mail message transport, you must configure at least one Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP) e-mail server address. You can specify up to four backup e-mail servers, for a maximum of five
total mail-server definitions.
Consider the following guidelines when configuring the mail server:
Backup e-mail servers can be defined by repeating the
mail-server
command using different priority
numbers.
The
mail-server priority
number
parameter can be configured from 1 to 100. The server with the
highest priority (lowest priority number) is tried first.
