 Certain modules support the sending of email notifications. The following settings are used to globally configure the used SMTP server and the target email address that will receive the notifications:
-* '''Enable email notifications''': globally enables or disables the sending of email notifications.
+* Enable email notifications: globally enables or disables the sending of email notifications.
-* '''SMTP server address''': the address of the SMTP server that will be used to send out notification emails.
+* SMTP server address: the address of the SMTP server that will be used to send out notification emails.
-* '''SMTP server port''': the TCP port on which the SMTP server is listening.
+* SMTP server port: the TCP port on which the SMTP server is listening.
-* '''SMTP server uses SSL''': must be set to On if the SMTP server expects an SSL connection from the very start.
+* SMTP server uses SSL: must be set to On if the SMTP server expects an SSL connection from the very start. If the SMTP server uses no SSL or STARTTLS this setting must be set to Off.
-If the SMTP server uses no SSL or STARTTLS this setting must be set to Off.
+* Ignore certificate errors: if the SSL certificate should not be validated because e.g. it is a self-signed certificate this setting can be used to turn off certificate validation.
+* Allow unencrypted connections: if an unencrypted connection must be allowed because e.g. a legacy SMTP server does not support it this setting can be used.
-* '''Ignore certificate errors''': if the SSL certificate should not be validated because e.g. it is a self-signed certificate this setting can be used to turn off certificate validation.
+* Username: the username used to log in to the SMTP server.
-* '''Allow unencrypted connections''': if an unencrypted connection must be allowed because e.g. a legacy SMTP server does not support it this setting can be used.
+* Password: the password used to log in to the SMTP server.
-* '''Username''': the username used to log in to the SMTP server.
+* From email address: the email address from which incident notifications will be sent.
-* '''Password''': the password used to log in to the SMTP server.
+* Target email address: the email address to which incident notifications will be sent.
-* '''From email address''': the email address from which incident notifications will be sent.
+* Email links base URL: this base URL will be used to generate the HTML links in notification emails. Since the device cannot by itself determine the proper address by which it is visible to the email recipient this setting can be used to set the right URL prefix for links sent with the notification emails.
-* '''Target email address''': the email address to which incident notifications will be sent.
+* Send periodic system status mail: if set to hourly or daily a system status email will be sent to the configured target address with the selected frequency. It will contain basic system information and system health status, management interface configuration and a list of detected LLDP neighbors if the management LLDP feature is enabled.
