System Event Log—SMTP Configuration
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard for email transmissions across the
network. You can configure the SMTP server IP, sender, mail account, password, and the
recipient email addresses that the e-mail alert will be sent to. There are also four types of
events—Device Cold Start, Authentication Failure, X-Ring Topology Change, and Port
Event—available to be issued as the e-mail alert. This function provides the authentication
mechanism including an authentication step through which the client effectively logs in to
the SMTP server during the process of sending e-mail alert.
 Email Alert: With this function being enabled, the user is allowed to configure the
detail settings for sending the e-mail alert to the SMTP server when the events occur.
 SMTP Server IP: Assign the mail server IP address (when Email Alert is enabled,
this function will then be available).
 Sender: Type in an alias of the switch in complete email address format, e.g.
[e-mail]
, to identify where the e-mail alert comes from.
 Authentication: Having ticked this checkbox, the mail account, password and
confirm password column fields will then show up. Configure the email account and
password for authentication when this switch logs in to the SMTP server.
 Mail Account: Set up the email account, e.g. (johnadmin
,) to receive the email alert.
It must be an existing email account on the mail server.
 Password: Type in the password for the email account.
 Confirm Password: Reconfirm the password.
 Receipt e-mail Addresses 1 ~ 6: You can also fill each of the column fields with up to
6 e-mail accounts to receive the email alert.
 Click
to have the configuration take effect.
