Sending alerts using e-mail
In environments where it is critical that you are notified about errors quickly, you can use e-mail
alerts. With e-mail alerts, you can be notified of serious errors by e-mail or a pager, so you can react
quickly. There is a limit of five e-mail addresses per alert, and the maximum length for each
individual e-mail address is 128 characters.
To configure MAPS to send an alert using e-mail, complete the following steps.
1. Enter the mapsConfig --emailcfg command to set the e-mail parameters.
mapsconfig --emailcfg -address email_address
To send an alert to multiple email addresses, separate the addresses using a comma.
2. Enter the mapsConfig --show command to display the e-mail configuration settings.
Refer to “Configuring e-mail server information” on page 34 for information on specifying the
email server to be used.
mapsconfig --show
The following example specifies the e-mail address for e-mail alerts on the switch.
switch:admin> mapsconfig --emailcfg -address [e-mail]
