The Smart Call Home is a feature from Cisco System which exists since long time but I noticed this feature quite lately. For the first I heard this feature with the Cisco SUP 720 Supervisor Engine for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches. With arrival of Nexus 7010 Series Switch and the training “Implementing Cisco Data Center Networking Infrastructure 2″ gave me an insight and its importance.
