Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard for email transmissions across the network.You can configure the SMTP server IP, mail subject, sender, mail account, password, and the recipient email addresses which the e-mail alert will send to.There are also five types of event—Device Cold Start, Device Warm Start,Authentication Failure, X-Ring Topology Change, and Port Event—available to be issued as the e-mail alert. Besides, this function provides the authentication mechanism including an authentication step through which the client effectively logs in to the SMTP server during the process of sending e-mail alert.
