Email when network is down asa5510

Hello everyone,

I am not sure if this can be done in asa 5510.  Is there any way we can configure that when our public ip goes down i get an email?

Thanks

You could configure the ASA to monitor the next-hop IP towards your ISP using route-tracking; it will log a syslog when the tracked route goes down.

The ASA could be configured to send just that particular email via syslog to your email address.

You could leave your default route in place pointing to the next hop ip, and configure a single "bogus" /32 route that is just used to ensure that the gateway is up. That way, if the gateway does go down your default route is still there, and only your bogus /32 route is pulled from the routing table.
