Command Mode
Global Configuration
Usage Guidelines
You can specify up to three SMTP servers for event handing. You must enter a separate command to
specify each server.
To send email alerts, the switch first opens a connection, sends all the email alerts waiting in the queue one
by one, and finally closes the connection.
To open a connection, the switch first selects the server that successfully sent mail during the last
connection, or the first server configured by this command. If it fails to send mail, the switch selects the next
server in the list and tries to send mail again. If it still fails, the system will repeat the process at a periodic
interval. (A trap will be triggered if the switch cannot successfully open a connection.)
Example
Console(config)#logging sendmail host 192.168.1.19
Console(config)#
16.91 logging sendmail level
This command sets the severity threshold used to trigger alert messages.
Syntax Description
logging sendmail level level
level One of the system message levels. Messages sent include the selected level
down to level 0. (Range: 0-7) For more information on the levels, refer to the
table in logging history command.
Default
Level 7

Usage Guidelines
The specified level indicates an event threshold. All events at this level or higher are sent to the configured
email recipients. (For example, using Level 7 reports all events from level 7 to level 0.)
