EMAIL ALERT NOT WORKING ON MY F5 LAB

HI guys,

 

I have F5 bigip ltm lab set up on my PC VM. I am currently in the middle of a project implementation with a client so i get to first implement on my lab before the production.

 

Right now i have just tried setting up email alerts on my F5 using some articles i found online.

This: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K59616664

and this: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K15188934

 

i still do not get alerts when do the test mail.

 

I wouldnt know if it is because i am using 8.8.8.8 as my dns ip and my mail server is outlook.office365.com

 

Please is there anyone who has tried this on their lab and has it working? please share with me

  • Your lab has a lot of variables that won't necessarily match production. I recently implemented this in production - it was easy to configure and only took a few minutes. It might be worth it to skip the lab and implement this. It won't break anything, and if it doesn't work it is very easy to back out.

      I agree with you. I eventually got it on my lab by doing something else on my o365 admin portal. But at the customer site in production it was much easier. It took only a few minutes like you said. Thank you Sir.
