Email Alerting Commands
Email Alerting is an extension of the logging system. The PowerConnect
logging system allows the user to configure a variety of destinations for log
messages. This feature adds email configuration capabilities, by which the
log messages are sent to a configured SMTP server such that an operator may
receive the log in an e-mail account of their choice.
Figure 1: Log Messages Severity Level
The network operator can adjust the urgent and non-urgent severity levels.
These levels are global and apply to all destination email addresses. Log
messages in the urgent group are sent immediately to SMTP server with each
log message in a separate mail. Log messages in the non-urgent group are
batched into a single email message and after a configurable delay.
Only the minimum part (MUA functionality of RFC 4409) required by the
switch or router to send the messages to the SMTP server is supported. Some
SMTP servers insist on authentication before the messages may be received
by them. The minimum part (MUA functionality of RFC 4954) required by
the switch or router to become authenticated by the SMTP server is
supported. Only plain text authentication is supported.
