Hello,

Hello,

I believe you are looking to configure Cisco Callhome.

You may use Cisco Fabric Manager to configure callhome, and here is a 
doc that talks about it step-by-step -
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/5_0/configuration/guides/sy
smgnt/fm/call.html

The following link talks about configuring callhome, in detail, if you 
want to use the command line interface, instead -
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/5_0/configuration/guides/sy
smgnt/nxos/call.html#wp1393543

Here is an example -

callhome
   contract-id <>
   customer-id <>
   switch-priority 2
   email-contact <>
   phone-contact <>
   streetaddress <>
   destination-profile full_txt email-addr <>
   destination-profile short_txt email-addr <>
   destination-profile xml email-addr callhome@cisco.com
   no destination-profile full_txt alert-group all
   destination-profile full_txt alert-group environmental
   no destination-profile short_txt alert-group all
   destination-profile short_txt alert-group environmental
   transport email smtp-server  port 25
   transport email from <>
   transport email reply-to <>
   enable
   no periodic-inventory notification
   periodic-inventory notification interval 30

Thanks,
Arun
