An Element Management System (EMS) is a software platform for managing network devices like switches and routers. It helps monitor, configure, and troubleshoot these devices in a centralized manner. EMS collects data, generates alerts, and provides reports on network performance. It also allows administrators to push configurations and updates to network elements. Ultimately, EMS enhances network reliability and simplifies network management tasks.

You can configure the EMS to use the network switch’s built-in SMTP server for sending email alerts. This allows notifications for specific conditions. By setting thresholds, the EMS can automatically trigger email alerts when conditions are met. This integration ensures administrators are promptly notified of critical events.
