E-mail notification
You can be notified of an alarm condition through an e-mail alert. If you have configured alarms to
send an e-mail notification, you must also configure the e-mail server and the e-mail recipient, as
described in the following sections.
Configuring the e-mail server on a switch
You must set up the e-mail notification recipient’s DNS server and domain name on each switch for
which e-mail notification is enabled.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 41.
2. Click the Switch tab.
3. In the DNS Configuration area, in the DNS Server 1 field, type the primary domain Name Server
IP address.
You can enter the IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 format.
4. In the DNS Server 2 field, type the secondary domain server IP address.
You can enter the IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 format.
5. In the Domain Name field, type the domain name (between 4 and 32 characters).
6. Click Apply.
Configuring the e-mail alert
You can set a different e-mail alert configuration for each class. For example, you can set one e-
mail notification for SFPs and another for E_Ports. Before configuring e-mail alert recipients, you
must set up the e-mail notification recipient’s DNS server and domain name.
1. Open the Fabric Watch window.
2. Click the Email Configuration tab.
3. Click Enable or Disable to enable or disable the e-mail alert status.
When you disable e-mail alerts, Fabric Watch does not send e-mail notification even if the e-
mail notification method is assigned to monitored areas.
4. Type the e-mail address of the recipient in the Recipient Email Address text box. Messages are
sent to this address when e-mail notification is enabled.
