Field

Description

Primary SMTP: (active)

(active)

indicates that the Primary SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer

Protocol) is the SMTP server that Call Home will try to use when

transmitting email messages. Call Home operates as an SMTP sending

agent.
After any system configuration, the Primary SMTP server will always

becomes the active SMTP, provided it is enabled and has a non-default

address defined (0.0.0.0 is the default).

Primary SMTP Server

Address:

The IP address of the primary (first) SMTP server.

Primary SMTP Server Port:

The service port number that the primary SMTP server is listening on to

accept connections from SMTP sending agents.

Secondary SMTP:

The second SMTP server. If the primary SMTP is not enabled/defined, or if

there is a failure in communicating with the primary SMTP server, the

Secondary SMTP server will become the (active) SMTP server—the one

used by Call Home for the next attempt to transmit email.

Secondary SMTP Server

Address:

The IP address of the secondary SMTP server.

Secondary SMTP Server

Port:

The service port number that the secondary SMTP server is listening on to

accept connection from SMTP sending agents.

Contact Email Address:

The email address of the point-of-contact for the switch. This email address

is included in the text of email messages using the FullText format under

the section for Contact Information.

Phone Number:

The phone number of the point-of-contact for the switch. This value is

included in the text of email messages using the FullText format under the

section for Contact Information.

Street Address:

The address of the point-of-contact for the switch. This value is included in

the text of email messages using the FullText format under the section for

Contact Information.

From Email Address:

The email address that is provided to the SMTP server indicating the

sender of the email being transmitted. In emails sent by Call Home, this

address appears in the message heading as the From: address. This value

is required to send emails. If there are any problems encountered in

routing the email to any of the intended recipients, the notice of the

problem is sent to this address. It is an important address for receiving

email notices concerning problems.
This address is also the default address used when replies are sent to an

email by a recipient. If the Reply-To: Email address is supplied it overrides

the sending of replies to the From: Email address by recipients. However,

any notifications of email problems sent by any SMTP server used to route

the message to the final recipient always sends those notifications to the

From: address.
