In this example we will see how to configure PSW when an external mail server is
used.
Let it be a mail server mail.ru. The procedure will be similar for other servers that
support AUTH PLAIN or AUTH LOGIN authentication.
We will need to create a mail account and select the SMTP connection settings.
For mail.ru – the address of SMTP server is smtp.mail.ru, port 25.
Now we can start configuring.
Fill in the information according to Figure 5.3.12.2.2.
Address for sending messages is
Let the recipient address be the same, as if we are sending an e-mail to ourselves.
Login:
(at mail.ru login is the address itself)
Password: password
Note:
in this example we fill in the
Server domain name
field and fill the
Server IP address
with zeros. In this case, the switch will receive the IP address of
the server automatically through the DNS query, but for this purpose the DNS
address of the resolver must be configured. If DNS is not configured, it will be
necessary to directly specify the IP address of the SMTP server.

After finishing all the settings, you can go to the Web-interface to the SMTP
Settings tab and check by sending a test message. Fill in the field Subject and
Message and send out the message.
