Configuring Anonymous Reporting and Smart Call Home
The Smart Call Home feature provides personalized, e-mail-based and web-based notification to
customers about critical events involving their individual systems, often before customers know that a
critical event has occurred.
The Anonymous Reporting feature is a subfeature of the Smart Call Home feature and allows Cisco to
anonymously receive minimal error and health information from the device.
Note You might have received a popup dialog that invites you to do the following:
Enable Anonymous Reporting to help improve the ASA platform.
Register for Smart Home Notifications to receive personalized, proactive assistance from Cisco.
For information about the dialog, see the “Anonymous Reporting and Smart Call Home Prompt” section
