How to Configure Call Home
Configuring General email Options
To use the email message transport, you must configure at least one Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP) email server address. You can configure the from and reply-to email addresses, and you can
specify up to four backup email servers.
Note the following guidelines when configuring general email options:
•Backup email 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.
To configure general email options, perform the following steps:
