Describes the necessary tasks for configuring Call Home, such as defining contact details, destination profiles, and alert groups, while highlighting important prerequisites for HTTPS source interface configuration in dual-stack networks.
To configure the sending of Call Home messages, do the following:
-
Assign contact information.
-
Configure and enable one or more destination profiles.
-
Associate one or more alert groups to each profile.
-
Configure the email server options, if using e-mail message delivery.
-
Enable Call Home.
The above tasks are described in detail in the below procedures.
Before enabling Call-Home, you must configure the source interface for HTTPS over IPv6. However, for HTTPS over IPv4, Call-Home works without the source interface.
In case of a dual-stack call-home configuration on the device, the IPv4 address is preferred over the IPv6 address. This may result in IPv6 resolution failure. Due to this limitation, the IPv6 device registration with the licensing server may only be done with a single mode, that is, IPv6 only configuration.
Use the http client source-interface ipv6 command to configure the source interface.
