Sending Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Alerts
Use the Administration > Log > SMTP page to alert system administrators of problems by sending
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) 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.
CLI References
• “SMTP Alerts” on page 90
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
• SMTP Status – Enables/disables the SMTP function. (Default: Enabled)
• Severity – Sets the syslog severity threshold level (see table on page 912 ) 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. IPv4 or IPv6
addresses may be specified. The switch attempts to connect to the listed servers in sequential
order if the first server fails to respond.
Interface
To configure SMTP alert messages:
1. Click Administration, Log, SMTP.
2. Enable SMTP, specify a source email address, and select the minimum severity level. Specify
the source and destination email addresses, and one or more SMTP servers.
