13 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 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 3-3. 2. Click the Switch tab. 3. Type the primary domain Name Server IP address in the DNS Server 1 field in the Email Configuration area. 4. Type the 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. To configure the Email Alert alarm 1. Launch the Fabric Watch module as described on page 13-3. 2. Click the Email Configuration tab, as shown in Figure 13-3. 3. Click the Enable or Disable radio button to enable or disable the email alert status. When you disable email alerts, Fabric Watch does not send email notification even if the email notification method is assigned to monitored areas.
