==Enabling SNMP/email alerts==
# Log in to the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh) by typing the following command: 
 tmsh
# To configure the system to send locally generated email messages, use the following command syntax: 
 modify /sys outbound-smtp mailhub <mail_server>:<port>
# To save the configuration, type the following command: 
 save /sys config
#Optional: If the SMTP mail host supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/TLS authentication but does not establish a secure connection automatically, you must add the following four additional parameters into the /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf configuration file: 
 UseSTARTTLS=yes
 UseTLS=yes
 AuthUser=<SMTP-Account-Username>
 AuthPass=<SMTP-Account-Password>
#Verify that ssmtp is configured properly and can send an email message:
 echo "ssmtp test mail" | mail -vs "Test email" email@mydomain.com
#To modify the permissions on the user_alert.conf file to include write access, type the following command: 
 chmod 644 /config/user_alert.conf
