Configuring Event Logging
– 412 –
Severity – Sets the syslog severity threshold level (see table on page 408) used
to trigger alert messages. All events at this level or higher will be sent to the
configured email recipients. For example, using Level 7 will report all events
from level 7 to level 0. (Default: Level 7)
Email Source Address – Sets the email address used for the “From” field in
alert messages. You may use a symbolic email address that identifies the
switch, or the address of an administrator responsible for the switch.
(Range: 1-41 characters)
Email Destination Address – Specifies the email recipients of alert messages.
You can specify up to five recipients. (Range: 1-41 characters)
Server IP Address – Specifies a list of up to three recipient SMTP servers. IPv4
or IPv6 addresses may be specified. The switch attempts to connect to the
listed servers in sequential order if the first server fails to respond.
For host name-to-IP address translation to function properly, host name lookup
must be enabled (“Configuring General DNS Service Parameters” on page 693),
and one or more DNS servers specified (see Configuring a List of Name
Servers” on page 696, or “Configuring Static DNS Host to Address Entries” on
page 697).
