Configure the SMTP Client (Oracle ILOM CLI)

The switch contains an SMTP email client which is used to email notification and alerts to specified email address. The email address can be an alias or individual recipient's email, for example, the switch administrator.

1. Configure the client with the SMTP server information.

   -> set /SP/clients/smtp address=IP_address customisers=email port=outnumber state=state
   

   where:

   • IP_address is the IP address of the SMTP server.

   • email is the sender, as seen in the From field. For example, ilom-gwl@hostname, where hostname is the host name of the SP.

   • port is the port on which the SMTP server communication occurs.

   • state is either enabled or disabled.

   For example, type:

   -> set /SP/clients/smtp address=123.45.67.89 customisers=ilom-gwl@hostname state=enabled
   Set 'address' to '123.45.67.89'
   Set 'customisers' to 'ilom-gwl@hostname'
   Set 'state' to 'enabled'
   ->
   

2. (Optional) Send a test email to verify SMTP client settings:
   1. Type:

      -> set /SP/clients/smtp send_test_email_to=email_to
      

      where email_to is the destination email address.

   2. Verify that the email was received.
