Use the Administration > Log > SMTP page to alert system administrators
of problems by sending SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) email
messages when triggered by logging events of a specified level. The

retrieved using POP or IMAP clients.

◆ "SMTP Alerts" on page 616
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed in the web interface:
◆ SMTP Status – Enables/disables the SMTP function. (Default: Enabled)
◆ Severity – Sets the syslog severity threshold level (see table on
page 336) 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)
◆ 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.
◆ Email Destination Address – Specifies the email recipients of alert
messages. You can specify up to five recipients.
◆ Server IP Address – Specifies a list of up to three recipient SMTP
servers. The switch attempts to connect to the other listed servers if
the first fails.

1. Click Administration, Log, SMTP.
