Use the Administration > Log > SMTP page 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.
Enables/disables the SMTP function. (Default: Enabled)
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)
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)
Specifies the email recipients of alert messages. You can specify up to five recipients.
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.
