Configuring an SMTP relay for the SMU

An external SMU can be configured to forward emails to the public network from the servers and auxiliary devices on the private management network, using a SMTP relay, as illustrated here:

Procedure

1. Navigate to Home SMU Administration SMTP Configuration.

   Note If you are accessing this page through the SMU Setup Wizard, there are three buttons at the bottom of the page, back, next, and cancel, to take you through the SMU setup.

   Field/Item	Description
   SMTP Server	Enter the SMTP Server on the public network. The SMU will then relay emails from the servers and other devices on the private network to the public network. An SMTP server can be specified by IPv4 or IPv6 address, or by a host name. If an IPv6 address is specified, the SMU will only be able to use the server for email forwarding if the SMU is configured with an IPv6 address. Additionally, if the SMTP server is given by host name, and that host name resolves only to an IPv6 address, mail forwarding will be possible only if an IPv6 DNS server is provided.
   apply	Saves configuration changes.

2. In the SMTP Server field, enter the name of the SMTP server the SMU should use to send emails and through which the SMU will relay email from other devices on the private management network.

3. Click apply to save the SMTP server configuration.

4. Verify that the SMTP server IP address specified on the Email Alert Configuration page is set to the eth1 IP address of the SMU.

   View the server’s email configuration via the Email Alerts Setup link found on the Status & Monitoring page.
