Example:

To view the settings of the automated call-home message feature, while the Flex System Enterprise Chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type 
autoftp -T mm[p]
To configure the automated call-home message feature to report call-home events using TFTP to tftp.ibm.com over transmission port 69, while the Flex System Enterprise Chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type
autoftp -m tftp -i tftp.ibm.com -p 69 -T mm[p]

The following example shows the information that is returned from these commands:

system> autoftp -T mm[p]
-m ftp
-i ftp.ibm.com
-p 6
-u smlite
system> autoftp -m tftp -i tftp.ibm.com -p 69 -T mm[p]
OK
