Configuring Contact Information

Switch priority is configured by a user for each switch in the fabric. This priority is used by the operations personnel or TAC support personnel to decide which Call Home message they should respond to first. You can prioritize Call Home alerts of the same severity from each switch.

Prerequisites

Detailed Steps

To assign the contact information, follow these steps:

  • Expand Events and select Call Home from the Physical Attributes pane.

    • You see the Call Home tabs in the Information pane.

  • In Device Manager, click Admin > Events > Call Home.

  • Click the General tab, then assign contact information and enable the Call Home feature. Call Home is not enabled by default. You must enter an e-mail address that identifies the source of Call Home notifications.
  • Click the Destination(s) tab to configure the destination e-mail addresses for Call Home notifications. You can identify one or more e-mail addresses that will receive Call Home notifications.

    • Note     Switches can forward events (SNMP traps/informs) up to 10 destinations.

    1. Click the Create tab to create a new destination. You will see the create destination window.
    2. Enter the profile name, ID, and type of destination. You can select email or http in the Type field.

      3. If you select email, you can enter the e-mail address in the EmailAddress field. The HttpUrl field is disabled.

      If you select http, you can enter the HTTP URL in the HttpUrl field. The EmailAddress field is disabled.

    3. Click Create to complete the destination profile creation.
  • Click the e-mail Setup tab to identify the SMTP server. Identify a message server to which your switch has access. This message server will forward the Call Home notifications to the destinations.
  • In DCNM-SAN, click the Apply Changes icon. In Device Manager, click Apply.
