Users Guide

If your network has an SMTP server that releases and renews IP address leases periodically, and the addresses are dierent, then there is a
duration when this property setting does not work due to change in the specied SMTP server IP address. In such cases, use the DNS
name.
Conguring Email Alert Settings Using CMC Web Interface
To congure the email alert settings using Web interface:
1 In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview, and then click Alerts > E-mail Alert Settings.
2 Specify the SMTP email server settings and the email address(es) to receive the alerts. For information about the elds, see the CMC
Online Help.
3 Click Apply to save the settings.
4 Click Send under Test E-mail to send a test email to the specied email alert destination.
Conguring Email Alert Settings Using RACADM
To send a test email to an email alert destination using RACADM:
1 Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC and log in.
2 Enable alert generation:
racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingEnable 1
NOTE
: Only one lter mask may be set by both SNMP and email alerting. You may skip step 3 if you have already set a lter
mask.
3 Specify the events for which alerts must be generated:
racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingFilterMask <mask value>
where <mask value> is a hexadecimal value between 0x0 and 0x and must be expressed with the leading 0x characters.
Table Event Traps Filter Masks provides lter masks for each event type. For instructions on calculating the hex value for the lter
mask you want to enable, see step 3 in Conguring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations Using RACADM.
4 Enable email alert generation:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEnable 1 -i <index>
where <index> is a value between 1–4. CMC uses the index number to distinguish up to four congurable destination email
addresses.
5 Specify a destination email address to receive the email alerts:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertAddress <email address> -i <index>
where <email address> is a valid email address, and <index> is the index value you specied in step 4.
6 Specify the name of the person receiving the email alert:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEmailName <email name> -i <index>
where <email name> is the name of the person or group receiving the email alert, and <index> is the index value specied in step
4 and step 5. The email name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters, dashes, underscores, and periods. Spaces are not valid.
7 Setup the SMTP host:
racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o cfgRhostsSmtpServerIpAddr host.domain
where host.domain is the FQDN.
You can congure up to four destination email addresses to receive email alerts. To add more email addresses, repeat step 2 – step 6.
