Email Server

Email Server

The X family device can be configured to send an email message when an IPS filter is triggered. The Email Server page allows you to configure the default email server settings to provide the email address, domain server, and SMTP address for the messages being sent from the device. After the email server settings have been configured, you can specify the email address contacts from the Notification Contacts page when you create or edit an action set.

The following figure shows the Email Server configuration page:

Configure the Email Server

STEP 1 From the LSM menu, select System > Configuration > Email Server.

STEP 2 On the Email Server page, type the Default To Email Address.

This address displays in the To Email Address field when a user creates an email contact from the LSM.

STEP 3 Type the From Email Address.

This address is used as the Reply-Toaddress for messages sent from the X family device.

STEP 4 Type the From Domain Name, such as Acme.com.

STEP 5 Enter the SMTP Server IP Address.

The device must be able to reach the SMTP server that will be handling the email notifications. You may have to add static routes (see “Static Routes” on page 159) so that the device can communicate with the SMTP server.

STEP 6 Enter a value for the Email Threshold (per minute).

This limits the numbers of emails sent per minute.
