> # General E-Mail Options Using HTTPS Support

> The HTTPS support for Call Home provides a transport method called HTTP. HTTPS support is used for a secure communication, and HTTP is used for nonsecure communication. You can configure an HTTP URL for the Call Home destination profile as a destination. The URL link can be from a secure server or nonsecure server. For a destination profile configured with the HTTP URL, the Call Home message is posted to the HTTP URL link.

> Note The Call Home HTTP configuration can be distributed over CFS on the switches running NX-OS Release 4.2(1) and later. The Call Home HTTP configuration cannot be distributed to switches that support the nondistributable HTTP configuration. Switches running lower versions than NX-OS Release 4.2(1) and later will ignore the HTTP configuration.
