Abstract

The invention discloses a test method for SMTP based on WINDOWS system. The steps of the test method are as follows: 1) prepare a test notebook with Windows system installed and set up a network; 2) build an SMTP server on the test notebook; 3) Set email alarm related options in BMC; 4) Manually trigger an event that will generate an email alarm, check whether the email address of the set recipient receives the alarm email, and start the email alarm test. The test method of the present invention builds a mail server on a test notebook (windows system), which is simple to operate, and only needs to be built once, and then the test only needs to be related to settings according to needs, and there is no need to repeatedly build a mail server; The sender’s email address is the same, only need to create an email address, which simplifies the test and improves the test efficiency; artificially triggering an event that should generate an email alarm, simulating the situation in the actual application, can accurately determine whether the email alarm function is effective .

Description

A Test Method Based on SMTP in WINDOWS System

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of mail alarm, in particular to a test method based on WINDOWS system SMTP.

Background technique

The email alarm function is a basic function in BMC. Users can set various options of this function (such as sender email, receiver email, SMTP server, alarm events, etc.) in BMC according to requirements. For the problems that are set in the alarm, the set recipients will receive the alarm email in time, so that they can be notified of the problem in time.

With the continuous development of technology in the IT field, big data and cloud computing are getting closer and closer to people's lives. Due to the huge amount of data and the growth of business, various enterprises and government units have an increasing demand for servers. IDC The computer room has been upgraded from a few servers to dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of servers. For server maintenance personnel, the workload is quite heavy. Once a problem with an individual server is not discovered in time, it will affect the normal operation of the enterprise in serious cases. The email alarm function enables the staff to receive the alarm email remotely once the server has a problem, and can know which part of the server has a problem in time, so as to solve the problem in time and avoid unnecessary losses. As the basic function supported by the server, the email alarm function will be tested no matter in the development stage or the testing stage of the server, which is an indispensable link in the server testing process.

Contents of the invention

The technical task of the invention is to provide a testing method based on WINDOWS system SMTP.

Technical task of the present invention is realized in the following manner, and the step of this testing method is as follows:

Step 1) Prepare a test notebook with Windows system installed and set up the network;

Step 2) Build an SMTP server on the test notebook;

Step 3) Set email alarm related options in BMC;

Step 4) Manually trigger an event that will generate an email alarm, check whether the email address of the set recipient receives the alarm email, and start the email alarm test.

In step 1), set the notebook IP and BMCIP to the same network segment, and connect the notebook and BMC port through a network cable to ensure that the test notebook can log in to the BMC.

The specific operation of the step 2) is as follows:

(1) Install MagicWinmailServerV4 software on the test notebook, create an email address and set a password after the installation is complete; check that all services have been started at the setting result, and the IP in the website displayed at WebMailURL is the same as the test notebook IP;

(2) Log in to the SMTP server and confirm that all services have been started normally: use the user name and password set during the installation process to log in to the SMTP server, and check whether the circles in front of each service in the service name column in the system service are green, if they are all green All services have been started normally, if some services are red, log out and log in to the SMTP server again;

(3) Use the created user name to log in to the mailbox: open the browser, the browser will display the mailbox login interface, enter the created mailbox user name and password, and you can log in to the mailbox.

The specific operation of the step 3) is as follows:

(1) Set the email address of the sender and recipient of the warning email;

(2) Set SMTP related options;

(3) Set the options related to the alarm strategy, and save it after setting;

(4) Set event filters according to requirements.

Compared with the prior art, the SMTP test method based on the WINDOWS system of the present invention is simple to build a mail server on a test notebook (windows system), and only needs to be set up once, and then the test only needs to be set up as needed That’s it, there is no need to repeatedly build an email server; the sender and recipient have the same email address, just create an email address, which simplifies the test and improves the test efficiency; artificially trigger the event that should generate an email alarm to simulate the actual application It can accurately judge whether the email alarm function is effective or not in the situation that occurs in . This method of testing the email alarm function is more practical and has practical and profound significance in the research and development phase, testing phase, and customer use phase.

detailed description

Example 1:

The steps of the test method based on WINDOWS system SMTP are as follows:

Step 1) Prepare a test notebook with Windows system installed and set up the network;

Set the notebook IP and BMCIP to the same network segment, and connect the notebook and BMC port through a network cable to ensure that the test notebook can log in to the BMC;

Step 2) Build an SMTP server on the test notebook;

(1) Install MagicWinmailServerV4 software on the test notebook, create an email address and set a password after the installation is complete; check that all services have been started at the setting result, and the IP in the website displayed at WebMailURL is the same as the test notebook IP;

(2) Log in to the SMTP server and confirm that all services have been started normally: use the user name and password set during the installation process to log in to the SMTP server, and check whether the circles in front of each service in the service name column in the system service are green, if they are all green All services have been started normally, if some services are red, log out and log in to the SMTP server again;

(3) Use the created user name to log in to the mailbox: open the browser, the browser will display the mailbox login interface, enter the created mailbox user name and password, and you can log in to the mailbox.

Step 3) Set email alarm related options in BMC;

The specific operation is as follows:

(1) Set the email address of the sender and recipient of the warning email;

In order to improve the test efficiency, both the sender and the recipient are set as the admin user. Set the email address of the admin user to the email address created in step 2, which is inspurbmc.com.

(2) Set SMTP related options;

The LAN channel is set to the actual connected BMC network port, taking the shared management port as an example:

The email address of the sender is set to the email address of the admin user, namely inspurbmc.com.

The IP address of the SMTP server is set to the IP address of the test notebook, namely 100.3.8.200.

The user name and password are set to the user name and password of the sender's email address, that is, inspur, 123456a?

(3) Set the options related to the alarm strategy, and save it after setting;

The LAN channel is set to the actual connected BMC network port, which is the same as that set in the SMTP option, that is, the shared management port.

The alarm type is set to Email.

The alarm target is the same as that set above, ie admin.

(4) Set event filters according to requirements.

Step 4) Manually trigger an event that will generate an email alarm, check whether the email address of the set recipient receives the alarm email, and start the email alarm test.

Through the above specific implementation manners, those skilled in the technical field can easily realize the present invention. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned several specific implementation manners. On the basis of the disclosed embodiments, those skilled in the art can arbitrarily combine different technical features, so as to realize different technical solutions.
