Configuring email settings
You can set email notification parameters for events and failures in the Administration > System Settings: Email page.
By default, email addresses aren’t specified for event and failure notification.
SMTP Server
Specify the SMTP server. You must have external DNS and external access for SMTP traffic for this feature to function.
This field doesn’t support IPv6 addresses to specify an SMTP server. For sending email over IPv6, specify the hostname of the email server.
Make sure you provide a valid SMTP server to ensure that the users you specify receive email notifications for events and failures.
SMTP Port
Specify the port number for the SMTP server. Typically, you don’t need to change the default, which is port 25.
Send Reminder of Passthrough Rules via email
Allows emails to be sent when one or more pass-through in-path rules are configured. Reminder emails are also sent every 15 days.
In addition to selecting this check box, you must also make or verify the following changes:
• Select the Report Events via Email check box in this page and specify an email address.
• Select the Enable Email Notification check box in the Optimization > Network Services: In-Path Rules page.
This field is active only if you specify a pass-through rule. You cannot create notifications for other types of rules.
To change the frequency of reminder emails, enter the email notify passthrough rule notify-timer <notification-time-in-days> command. For more information, see the Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual.
To disable reminder emails for pass-through rules, clear this check box or enter the no email notify passthrough rule command.
