In the
SMTP SMS Server
field in the
Alerts & Logging: SMTP &SMS
menu, enter the IP address
of the outgoing mail
Server
(and
Secure Connection
if applicable).
You may enter a
Sender
email address, which will appear as the “
from”
address in all email
notifications sent from this
console server
. Some SMS gateway service providers only forward
email to SMS when the email has been received from authorized senders. You might need to
assign a specific authorized email address for the console server.
You may also enter a
Username
and
Password
, because some SMS gateway service providers
use SMTP servers which require authentication.
You can specify the specific
Subject Line
that will be sent with the email. Generally, the email
subject will contain a truncated version of the alert notification message (which is contained in
full in the body of the email). However some SMS gateway service providers require blank
subjects or require specific authentication headers to be included in the subject line.
Click
Apply
to activate SMTP.
7.1.3 SNMP alerts
The
Administrator
can configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent that resides
on the
console server
to send SNMP trap alerts to an NMS management application:
Select
Alerts & Logging: SNMP
Enter the SNMP transport protocol. SNMP is generally a
UDP
-based protocol, though
infrequently, it uses
TCP
instead.
Enter the IP address of the
SNMP Manager
and the Port to use for connecting (default = 162)
Select the version being used. The
console server
SNMP agent supports SNMP v1, v2, and v3.
Enter the
Community
name for SNMP v1 or 2c. An SNMP community is the group that devices
and management stations running SNMP belong to. It helps define where information is sent.
SNMP default communities are
private
for Write (and public for Read).
