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.
