SMTP Settings

SMTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is a function of the Switch that will send switch events to mail recipients based
on e-mail addresses entered in the window below. The Switch is to be configured as a client of SMTP while the server
is a remote device that will receive messages from the Switch, place the appropriate information into an e-mail and
deliver it to recipients configured on the Switch. This can benefit the Switch administrator by simplifying the
management of small workgroups or wiring closets, increasing the speed of handling emergency Switch events, and
enhancing security by recording questionable events occurring on the Switch.
Users can set up the SMTP server for the Switch, along with setting e-mail addresses to which switch log files can be
sent when a problem arises on the Switch.
