Select 2 to configure the Host IP (and I do mean IP, not the DNS name):<\/p>\n
enter the Relay Host IP:\n192.168.1.1<\/em>\nSetting 192.168.1.1 as Relay Host..\nenter the Domain Name:\ndomain.net<\/em><\/code><\/pre>\n
And, select 4 to exit to the main fwMailCfg screen.  Next, set the Email recipient, select 5 from the main fwMailCfg screen:<\/p>\n

Select the class you want to monitor (Port class has a lot of good errors in it), and enter the Email address of the recipient:<\/p>\n

Be sure to select 3 from the main screen to enable Email alerts, then you can select 4 to send a test Email.  With any luck you’ll get an email within a minute or two.<\/p>\n
Next, we need to configure the alarm levels.  <\/p>\n

Select choice => : (1..18) [18] 7\nEnter high threshold => : (0..999999999) [1000] 100<\/code><\/pre>\n
The buffer setting isn’t very well described in some of the books.  The way I read it is that the alarm won’t trigger another alert until the level has hit between the high threshold – the buffer and the low threshold + the buffer.  It’s a way to to reduce the number of alarms generated. Set the buffer:<\/p>\n
Select choice => : (1..18) [18] 8\nEnter buffer size => : (0..50) [50] 5<\/code><\/pre>\n
Set the alarm action:<\/p>\n
Select choice => : (1..18) [18] 14\n\nErrlog-1, SnmpTrap-2, PortLogLock-4\nRapiTrap-8, EmailAlert-16, PortFencing-32\n\nValid alarm matrix is 63\nEnter above alarm matrix => : (0..63) [0] 21<\/code><\/pre>\n
Set the threshold boundry and alarm levels to custom:<\/p>\n
Select choice => : (1..18) [18] 3\n1  : Default\n2  : custom\nEnter boundary level type => : (1..2) [2] 2\n...\nSelect choice => : (1..18) [18] 11\n1  : Default\n2  : custom\nEnter alarm level type => : (1..2) [1] 2<\/code><\/pre>\n
