Designating an administrator email address<br />

After you start FTSA, you are in <strong>the</strong> CONFIGURATION (conf-callhome) mode, where you must use <strong>the</strong><br />

admin-email command to designate an Administrator email address.<br />

You can also use <strong>the</strong> domain-name command to specify <strong>the</strong> domain name <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Administrator email<br />

address, which would take priority over any domain name that you enter through <strong>the</strong> admin-email<br />

command.<br />

Step Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose<br />

1 admin-email email_address CONFIGURATION<br />

(conf-callhome)<br />

2 domain-name domain_name CONFIGURATION<br />

(conf-callhome)<br />

You now have a functioning FTSA service that will send periodic emails to <strong>Force10</strong> Support. Use <strong>the</strong><br />

following procedure to modify that recipient or add more.<br />

Designating recipients of FTSA email messages<br />

This Administrator email address is <strong>the</strong> one from<br />

which FTSA emails will be sent to enabled<br />

recipients.<br />

For email address, you have two choices:<br />

• Enter <strong>the</strong> administrator’s full email address,<br />

such as: admin@domain_name.com<br />

• Enter just <strong>the</strong> username component, <strong>for</strong><br />

example: admin<br />

If you did not enter <strong>the</strong> domain name part of <strong>the</strong><br />

Administrator’s email address in <strong>the</strong> previous<br />

step, you must do so with this command.<br />

In any case, a domain name specified with this<br />

command will be used instead of a domain name<br />

you enter with <strong>the</strong> admin-email command.<br />

Enter <strong>the</strong> complete domain name of <strong>the</strong><br />

Administrator’s email address, such as<br />

yourco.com.<br />

FTSA is pre-configured to send encrypted (PGP5) email messages containing basic switch inventory<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation to <strong>Force10</strong> Support. If necessary, you can change that address, and you can disable encryption.<br />

Starting with <strong>FTOS</strong> 7.7.1.0, you have <strong>the</strong> option of also sending type 5 (event-based) messages to ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />

<strong>the</strong> configured recipients or to a local log using <strong>the</strong> log-only command.<br />

You can add up to four more recipients of FTSA email messages, in addition to <strong>Force10</strong> Support and your<br />

administrator account. You can enable <strong>the</strong> sending of FTSA messages to specific recipients or to all<br />

recipients. You can enable encryption to selected recipients.<br />

After you start FTSA with <strong>the</strong> call-home command, as described above, you can add or edit recipients. The<br />

following steps describe that optional task.<br />
