These parameters are displayed in the web interface:
◆
SMTP Status – Enables/disables the SMTP function. (Default: Enabled)
◆
Severity – Sets the syslog severity threshold level (see table on
page 352 ) used to trigger alert messages. All events at this level or
higher will be sent to the configured email recipients. For example,
using Level 7 will report all events from level 7 to level 0.
(Default: Level 7)
◆
Email Source Address – Sets the email address used for the “From”
field in alert messages. You may use a symbolic email address that
identifies the switch, or the address of an administrator responsible for
the switch.
◆
Email Destination Address – Specifies the email recipients of alert
messages. You can specify up to five recipients.
◆
Server IP Address – Specifies a list of up to three recipient SMTP
servers. The switch attempts to connect to the other listed servers if
