Sending Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Alerts
To alert system administrators of problems, the switch can use SMTP
(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to send email messages when triggered by
logging events of a specified level. The messages are sent to specified
SMTP servers on the network and can be retrieved using POP or IMAP
clients.
Command Attributes
•
Admin Status
– Enables/disables the SMTP function. (Default:
Enabled)
•
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.
•
Severity
– Sets the syslog severity threshold level (see table on
page 3-39) 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)
•
SMTP Server List
– Specifies a list of up to three recipient SMTP
servers. The switch attempts to connect to the other listed servers if the
first fails. Use the New SMTP Server text field and the Add/Remove
buttons to configure the list.
