2.9 E-Mail Function

The OSM/ESM has an E-mail function with which an E-mail can be sent

automatically (for example to the network administrator) if an alarm occurs. If the

E-mail function is activated, the OSM/ESM sends an E-mail in the same situations

that lead to a trap being issued (see Section 2.8). The E-mail includes the

identification of the sending OSM/ESM and a description of the cause of the alarm

in plain language. For networks with only a few nodes, this allows simple

centralized network monitoring to be implemented on the basis of an E-mail

system. When an E-mail fault message arrives, the WBM can be started by the

browser based on the identification of the sender so that further diagnostic

information can be obtained.

To use the E-mail function, the following requirements must be met:

S The E-mail function is activated on the OSM/ESM and the E-mail address of

the recipient is configured.

S The E-mail function is activated for the particular event (event configuration,

activated for all events as default).

S There is an SMTP server in your network that can be reached by the

OSM/ESM.

S The IP address of the SMTP server is entered on the OSM/ESM.

The E-mail function can be activated by WBM or the command-line interface.

Note

Depending on the properties and configuration of the SMTP server, it may be

necessary to adapt the “From” box for the E-mails. Please check with the

administrator of the SMTP server. You can specify the “From” box using WBM,

CLI or by direct SNMP access.

Unless modified, the OSM/ESM uses the following address:

<device_type>@<IP_address>

1 2 ... 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 ... 157 158
