Setting Up the System
Setting Up AlertMail
AlertMail enables users to receive system events by e-mail instead of using SNMP
traps. AlertMail is completely independent from SNMP and both can be enabled at
the same time. AlertMail uses standard SMTP commands to communicate with an
SMTP capable mail server.
Table 5-3: AlertMail Commands
Function Command
Add an e-mail address using

* For security reasons, some SMTP servers will only forward mail if the
sender’s domain is set properly. You may need to set this parameter to
match the network domain.
