Configuring Email Alerting

The commands in this example define the SMTP server to use for sending

email alerts. The mail server does not require authentication and uses the

standard TCP port for SMTP, port 25, which are the default values. Only

Emergency messages (severity level 0) will be sent immediately as individual

emails, and messages with a severity of alert, critical, and error (levels 1-3) will

be sent in a single email every 120 minutes. Warning, notice, info, and debug

messages are not sent in an email.
The email the administrator will in the inbox has a format similar to the

following:

Figure 10-24. Email Alert Message Format

For emergency-level messages, the subject is LOG MESSAGE -

EMERGENCY. For messages with a severity level of alert, critical, and error,

the subject is LOG MESSAGE.
To configure the switch:

1 Specify the mail server to use for sending messages.

console#configure

console(config)#mail-server ip-address 192.168.2.34

2 Configure the username and password for the switch must use to

authenticate with the mail server.
