RCP Server Settings

This window is used to configure global RCP server information. This global RCP Server setting can be used when the
Server or remote user name is not specified. Only ONE RCP server can be configured per system. If user does not
specify the RCP Server in the CLI command, and global RCP Server was not configured, the Switch will ask user to
input the Server IP address or remote user name while executing the RCP commands.
To view this window, click Network Application > RCP Server Settings as shown below:
The fields that can be configured are described below:
Parameter Description
IP Address
The IP address of global RCP Server. By default, the server is unspecified.
User Name
The remote user name for logon into global RCP Server. By default, global server's remote user
name is unspecified.
Click the Apply button to accept the changes made.
Click the Edit button to re-configure the specific entry.
Click the Delete button to remove the specific entry.

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.
The Switch will send out e-mail to recipients when one or more of the following events occur:
•
When a cold start occurs on the Switch.
•
When a port enters a link down status.
•
When a port enters a link up status.
•
When SNMP authentication has been denied by the Switch.
•
When a switch configuration entry has been saved to the NVRAM by the Switch.
