6.8.2 System Event Log—SMTP Configuration
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard for email transmissions across
the network. You can configure the SMTP server IP, mail subject, sender, mail
account, password, and the recipient email addresses which the e-mail alert will send
to. There are also five types of event—Device Cold Start, Device Warm Start,
Authentication Failure, X-Ring Topology Change, and Port Event—available to be
issued as the e-mail alert. Besides, this function provides the authentication
mechanism including an authentication step through which the client effectively logs in
to the SMTP server during the process of sending e-mail alert.
„ Email Alert: With this function being enabled, the user is allowed to configure the
detail settings for sending the e-mail alert to the SMTP server when the events
occur.
„ SMTP Server IP: Assign the mail server IP address (when Email Alert is
enabled, this function will then be available).
„ Sender: Type in an alias of the switch in complete email address format, e.g.
[email protected] , to identify where the e-mail alert comes from.
„ Authentication: Having checked this box, the mail account, password and
confirm password column fields will then show up. Configure the email account
and password for authentication when this switch logs in to the SMTP server.
„ Mail Account: Set up the email account, e.g. johnadmin , to receive the email
alert. It must be an existing email account on the mail server.
„ Password: Type in the password for the email account.
„ Confirm Password: Reconfirm the password.
„ Rcpt e-mail Address 1 ~ 6: You can also fill each of the column fields with up to
6 e-mail accounts to receive the email alert.
„ Click Apply to have the configuration take effect.
