Configure an SMTP server

Configure an SMTP server to enable email alerts in Syslog. Ensure the source email address configured for Syslog is a valid account on the SMTP servers.

Before you begin

Ensure that the network objects for the primary and secondary SMTP server addresses exist. Define the objects using Objects. You can also create these objects when you edit the policy.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Devices > Platform Settings and create or edit the Firewall Threat Defense policy.

Step 2

Click SMTP Server.

Step 3

Select the network objects that identify the Primary Server IP Address and optionally, the Secondary Server IP Address.

Step 4

Click Save.

You can now go to Deploy > Deploy and deploy the policy to assigned devices. The changes are not active until you deploy them.

After completing this task, email alerts can be sent through Syslog using the specified SMTP servers.
