If you chose Static IP Setup in the previous step, fill in the IP addressing boxes: • Host IP Address: the IP address of this server. • Gateway IP Address: the IP address of the router for this server. • Subnet Mask: the IP address for the server's subnet. The server uses this to decide if the alert destination is on the same subnet. 8. In the Alert IP Address box, fill in the IP address of the system you want to receive alerts from this server. If you want the alert to be broadcast to an entire subnet, enter the IP address for the subnet. 9. From the Options menu, choose Configure Event Actions. 10.
