E-mail notification using Web Tools

You can be notified of an alarm condition through an e-mail alert. If you have configured alarms to
send an e-mail notification, you must also configure the e-mail server and the e-mail recipient, as
described in the following sections.

Configuring the e-mail server on a switch

You must set up the e-mail notification recipient’s DNS server and domain name on each switch for
which e-mail notification is enabled.

To configure the alert e-mail address on the switch, perform the following steps.

1. Open the Switch Administration window.

2. Select the Switch tab.

3. In the DNS Configuration area, in the DNS Server 1 field, enter the primary Domain Name

Server IP address. You can enter the IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 format.

4. In the DNS Server 2 field, enter the secondary Domain Name Server IP address. You can enter

the IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 format.

5. In the Domain Name field, enter the domain name (between 4 and 32 characters).

6. Click Apply.

Enabling the e-mail alert

You can set a different e-mail alert configuration for each FRU class. For example, you can set one
e-mail notification for SFPs and another for E_Ports. Before configuring e-mail alert recipients, you
must set up the e-mail notification recipient’s DNS server and domain name. Refer to

“Configuring

the e-mail server on a switch”

on page 94.

Fabric OS v7.1 supports up to five e-mail addresses. E-mail addresses must not exceed 128
characters.

NOTE

You must execute the fwalfilterset 1 command to enable e-mail notification. Refer to the Fabric OS
Command Reference
