Configuring autosupport for system event notifications

Prev Next

You can configure the appliance to send emails to autosupport@fireeye.com when specific system events occur.

This includes configuring settings to ensure the emails are sent securely. You can specify one of the following security types:

  • none—Do not use TLS to secure the autosupport emails.

  • tls—Use TLS over the default server port to secure autosupport emails. Do not send the emails if TLS fails.

  • tls-none—Use TLS over the default server port to secure autosupport email. The email is sent in plain text if TLS fails.

  • Operator or Admin access

Configuring autosupport for system event notifications using the CLI

  3. Display the current configuration for generating autosupport emails for system events:

    hostname (config) # show email
  4. Specify each event for which autosupport email notifications should be sent:

  5. Configure the supplemental Certificate Authority (CA) certificates that are used to verify the server certificates.

    • To use only the built-in list:

      hostname (config) # email autosupport ssl ca-list none
    • To use the default supplemental CA certificate list:

      hostname (config) # email autosupport ssl ca-list default-ca-list
  6. Configure a security type to use for autosupport email.

    • No TLS:

      hostname (config) # email autosupport ssl mode none
    • TLS:

    • TLS none:

      hostname (config) # email autosupport ssl mode tls-none

    hostname (config) # email autosupport cert-verify
