3. In the email event notification section, enter the sender of the email in the from field using the
format required by your SMTP server.
The address format to use depends on how your SMTP server is configured. For many servers,
the user@domain (e.g.: [e-mail]) format will be acceptable. Some servers can be
configured to require sender and recipient addresses that conform strictly to the RFC821
standard. For example, a postfix SMTP server has an option called strict_rfc821_envelopes
that, when enabled, requires that all addresses must be enclosed in angle brackets, as in
<user@domain> (e.g.: <[e-mail]>). If such a server receives an email whose
sender or recipient addresses are not enclosed in angle brackets, the server will return an
address syntax error.
Check the settings on your SMTP server to determine the address format you need to use, or
ask your network administrator.
If you leave the from field blank, the default address [e-mail] (e.g.:
[e-mail]) will be used. (The hostname and domain used are part of the
global parameters specified when you set up the Equalizer hardware.)
4. Enter the recipient of the email in the to field using the format required by your SMTP server,
as described in the previous step. A recipient address must be specified.
5. Enter the SMTP address used for forwarding email using either dot notation (
10.0.0.10) or
the hostname in the SMTP server field. The SMTP server must be listening on port 25.
6. Check the enable email notification checkbox (this box allows you to turn off email
notification later without removing your email configuration, as shown in the next section).
7. Click the commit button. (If the to or SMTP server fields are blank, or if you do not check the
enable email notification check box, you will not be able to commit the changes.)
Disabling Email Notification When a Particular Event Occurs
To disable email notification:
1. Follow Steps 1 and 2 in the previous section.
2. On the event configuration screen, clear the enable email notification checkbox.
3. Select commit.
Browsing Equalizer Configurations using SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an internet standard that allows a
management station to monitor the status of a device over the network. SNMP organizes
information about the Equalizer and provides a standard way to help gather that information. Using
SNMP requires:
• An SNMP agent running on the system to be monitored.
• A Management Information Base (MIB) database on the system to be monitored.
• An SNMP management station running on the same or another system.
An SNMP agent and MIB databases are provided on Equalizer Models E450si and above,
implemented for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
