Before you can activate the switch port email notification function, you must activate Port Status Reports for the monitored ports. You can do this in the Manage Devices section.
If you have permission, you can configure ExtremeCloud IQ to send email notifications for changes of device status. When you have activated an email notification rule and saved its settings, ExtremeCloud IQ automatically sends notification emails when your configured conditions are met.
For APs, ExtremeCloud IQ averages the AP status over five-minute periods (by default) to minimize unnecessary repetitions of the same notification email. For switches, a notification email is sent after all port up and down events.
