Sending Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Alerts

To alert system administrators of problems, the switch can use SMTP (Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol) to send 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.

Command Attributes
Admin Status – Enables/disables the SMTP function. (Default: Enabled)
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.

Severity – Sets the syslog severity threshold level (see table on page 4-48) 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)

SMTP Server List – Specifies a list of up to three recipient SMTP servers. The

switch attempts to connect to the other listed servers if the first fails. Use the New
SMTP Server text field and the Add/Remove buttons to configure the list.

Email Destination Address List – Specifies the email recipients of alert

messages. You can specify up to five recipients. Use the New Email Destination
Address text field and the Add/Remove buttons to configure the list.
