82 Managing switches
Using the Call Home Profile Manager
The Call Home Profile Manager is used to configure the type of events for which to send an e-mail alert,
and where the alerts are sent. Use the Call Home Profile Manager dialog box (Figure 39) to manage all
profiles on a switch. You can add new profiles, remove profiles, edit profiles, and make copies of existing
profiles.
To display the Call Home Profile Manager dialog box, select Switch > Call Home > Profile Manager. The
Profiles list shows all profiles on the switch. The Email List shows all e-mail addresses associated with the
selected profile in the Profiles list. The Apply Changes to Multiple Switches in Fabric option enables you to
propagate all profiles on the switch to one or more switches in the fabric. See ”Applying all profiles on a
switch to other switches” on page 86 for more information.
