Smtp - Planet Networking & Communication SGS-5240 Series User Manual

4.8.9.4 SMTP

The Device Management > Event Log > SMTP page is used 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 messages are sent
to specified SMTP servers on the network and can be retrieved using POP or IMAP clients.
 SMTP Status – Enables/disables the SMTP function. (Default: Enabled)
 Severity – Sets the syslog severity threshold level 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. (Range: 1-41
characters)
 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. IPv4 or IPv6 addresses may be specified. The
switch attempts to connect to the listed servers in sequential order if the first server fails to respond. For host name-to-IP
address translation to function properly, host name lookup must be enabled, and one or more DNS servers specified.
