Configuring, enabling, and testing e-mail notification

Perform this procedure to configure, enable, and test e-mail and simple mail transfer protocol

(SMTP) addresses to receive notification of Edge Switch (and other product) events. Configure and

test procedures are performed at the HAFM appliance. E-mail notification is enabled for each Edge

Switch at the HAFM application.

1. Minimize the Hardware view and return to the HAFM application.

2. At the HAFM application main window, select Monitor > Event Notification > Email.

The Email Event Notification dialog box is displayed (Figure 25).

3. To enable or disable e-mail notification, select or clear the Enable Email Event Notification check

box.

4. Enter the IP address or DNS host name of the SMTP server in the E-mail Server box. Use 64 or

fewer alphanumeric characters. HP recommends using the IP address.

5. Enter the e-mail address to which e-mail replies should be sent in the Reply Address box.

6. At the Summary Interval box, enter the length of time the application should wait between

notifications. Select seconds, minutes, or hours from the associated drop-down list.

Notifications are combined into a single e-mail and sent at each interval setting. An interval

setting of zero causes notifications to be sent immediately.

IMPORTANT: Setting too short of an interval can cause the recipient's e-mail inbox to fill

very quickly.

7. To specify users that are to receive e-mail notification, click User List.
