7.8.1.0 - Force10 Networks

Designating an administrator email address
After you start FTSA, you are in the CONFIGURATION (conf-callhome) mode, where you must use the
admin-email command to designate an Administrator email address.
You can also use the domain-name command to specify the domain name for the Administrator email
address, which would take priority over any domain name that you enter through the admin-email
command.

You now have a functioning FTSA service that will send periodic emails to Force10 Support. Use the
following procedure to modify that recipient or add more.
Designating recipients of FTSA email messages
This Administrator email address is the one from
which FTSA emails will be sent to enabled
recipients.
For email address, you have two choices:
• Enter the administrator’s full email address,
such as: admin@domain_name.com
• Enter just the username component, for
example: admin
If you did not enter the domain name part of the
Administrator’s email address in the previous
step, you must do so with this command.
In any case, a domain name specified with this
command will be used instead of a domain name
you enter with the admin-email command.
Enter the complete domain name of the
Administrator’s email address, such as
yourco.com.
FTSA is pre-configured to send encrypted (PGP5) email messages containing basic switch inventory
information to Force10 Support. If necessary, you can change that address, and you can disable encryption.
Starting with FTOS 7.7.1.0, you have the option of also sending type-5 (event-based) messages (see
Figure 174 on page 304) to either the configured recipients or to a local log using the log-only command.
You can add up to four more recipients of FTSA email messages, in addition to Force10 Support and your
administrator account. You can enable the sending of FTSA messages to specific recipients or to all
recipients. You can enable encryption to selected recipients.
After you start FTSA with the call-home command, as described above, you can add or edit recipients.
The following steps describe that optional task.
