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.

•

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 3-34) 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.
