Limitations and Restrictions
Step 4 Use the feature ssh command to enable SSH.
CFS Cannot Distribute All Call Home Information
In MDS NX-OS Release 4.2(1b), CFS cannot distribute the following Call Home commands that can be
configured with the destination-profile command:
• destination-profile profile_name transport-method
• destination-profile profile_name http
The output of the show running-config callhome command shows configured Call Home commands:
switch# show running-config callhome
> version 4.1(3)
> callhome
> email-contact abc@cisco.com <mailto:abc@cisco.com>
> phone-contact +14087994089
> streetaddress xyxxyx
> distribute
> destination-profile testProfile
> destination-profile testProfile format XML
> no destination-profile testProfile transport-method email
> destination-profile testProfile transport-method http
> destination-profile testProfile http https://xyz.abc.com
> destination-profile testProfile alert-group all
> transport email smtp-server 64.104.140.134 port 25 use-vrf management
> transport email from abc@cisco.com <mailto:abc@cisco.com>
> enable
> commit
When you attempt to apply these commands in the ASCII configuration, the following commands fail:
> no destination-profile testProfile transport-method email
> destination-profile testProfile transport-method http
> destination-profile testProfile http https://xyz.abc.com
To work around this issue, use these commands after the commit command.
