iLo SMTP alertmail via Firewall Ip address question

[Asha221]

Good day everyone

I am using the iLo SMTP alertmail to send notification. My SMTP server is across a firewall.

So my question is, to allow iLo SMTP to sent alertmail, which ip address to use and to allow access by the  firewall and smtp server. Is it the iLo ip address or the HP server ip address itself ?

Best regards,

Asha

Thanks all for the tips. I have read through all tips. My findings is iLo IP can be used to pass through the firewall and white listed by the SMTP server.

Thanks for sharing.
