Alerts
Configuring an SMTP Relay
Email alerts require a configured SMTP relay in order to send email to the recipient specified in
the alert definition. To set up an SMTP relay, you need to know:
l
The SMTP server’s IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). If an FQDN is used,
DNS must also be configured.
l
The port on which the SMTP server accepts incoming mail (usually port 25).
Configuring an SMTP Relay Using the CLI
Currently, Equalizer supports one SMTP relay. The format of the global CLI command to create a
new SMTP relay is:
eqcli >
ext_services smtp_relay
name
server
IP_or_FQDN
port
number
For example, if you have an SMTP relay server named
postmaster
that has an IP address of
10.0.0.111 and uses the standard SMTP port, you can enter this command:
eqcli >
ext_services smtp_relay postmaster server 10.0.0.111 port 25
To display the SMTP relay definition, enter:
eqcli >
show ext_services smtp_relay postmaster
To delete the SMTP relay definition, enter:
eqcli >
no ext_services smtp_relay postmaster
To modify an existing SMTP relay definition, specify new values for the desired parameters. For
example, this command changes the IP address for
postmaster
:
eqcli >
ext_services smtp_relay postmaster server 172.16.0.123
