Vantage CNM 2.0 User's Guide
The SMTP server is used for e-mail notifications.
The syslog server is used to receive logs. The syslog server you configure for a device and the
syslog server you configure for Vantage MUST be the same.
You should know each server's IP address, username and password. File transfers (FTP), e-
mail notifications (SMTP) or log reports (syslog) will not work in Vantage if these are
incorrectly configured.
See the User's Guide appendices for examples of setting up syslog and FTP servers. The
1
syslog server must be either a Linux syslog server or Kiwi for Windows . Vantage
communicates with a Linux syslog server using SSH, so you must enable the SSH daemon on
the Linux syslog server. Vantage communicates with a Windows (Kiwi) syslog server using
Telnet, so you must enable Telnet on the Windows (Kiwi) syslog server. See the Quick Start
Guide for information on configuring the Linux syslog server to send logs to Vantage.
1. Only these syslog servers are supported at the time of writing.
