Configuring Email Notifications
One of the ways that you can be notified of an alarm condition is through an email alert. If you have
configured alarms to send an email notification, you must also configure the email server and the email
recipient, as described in the following sections.
Configuring the Email Server on a Switch
You must set up the email notification recipient’s DNS server and domain name on each switch for
which email notification is enabled.
When you set up the email notification local network’s DNS server and domain name for the
SilkWorm 12000, 24000, and 48000 directors, it is on a logical-switch basis. This means that for each
logical switch, you must set up the email notification recipient’s DNS server and domain name
individually.
To configure the email server
1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 4-3.
2. Click the Switch tab.
3. Type your primary domain Name Server IP address in the DNS Server 1 field in the Email
Configuration area.
4. Type your secondary domain server IP address in the DNS Server 2 field.
5. Type the domain name in the Domain Name field (between 4 and 32 characters).
6. Click Apply to save the changes.
Configuring the Email Alert Recipient
You can set a different email alert configuration for each class. For example, you can set one email
notification for SFPs and another for E_Ports. Before configuring email alert recipients, you must set up
the email notification recipient’s DNS server and domain name. For more information, refer to
“Configuring the Email Server on a Switch”.
