Common Setup Tasks | Getting Started with Dell OpenManage Network Manager 67
Common Setup Tasks
If you install it ( Add > Applications ),
the Common Setup Tasks portlet can
appear on the page of your choice. It
reminds you of the following common
tasks:
• SMTP Configuration
• Netrestore File Servers
• Netrestore Image Repository
A red flag appears with the “Setup required” message in the
Status column when these are not
configured. Configuring them displays a green flag with the “Setup complete” message. Click the
edit link in the Action column to open editors for each of these.
SMTP Configuration
You can use Dell OpenManage Network Manager’s messaging capabilities to communicate with
other users, but if you want to receive e-mails automated by actions like configuration file backups,
Dell OpenManage Network Manager must have a mail account. This screen configures the e-mail
server so Dell OpenManage Network Manager can send such automated e-mails.
The
Apply button accepts your edits. Te s t tries them. Cancel abandons them and returns to Dell
OpenManage Network Manager. This screen contains the following fields:
SMTP Server Host —The IP address or hostname of your SMTP server.
SMTP Server Port —The port for your SMTP server (110 is typical).
