Enabling email notifications in Ruckus SmartZone can provide several benefits for network administrators. Some reasons why you might want to enable email notifications include:

• Staying informed about critical system events: By setting up email alerts for system events, such as AP failures or firmware updates, administrators can stay informed about the health of their network and quickly identify and address any issues that arise.
• Tracking client events: Email notifications can be set up to alert administrators when clients connect or disconnect from the network, making it easier to track network usage and identify potential security threats.
• Detecting rogue APs: Enabling email notifications for rogue AP detection can help administrators quickly identify and address unauthorized access points on the network, reducing the risk of security breaches and ensuring the integrity of the network.

Overall, enabling email notifications in Ruckus SmartZone can help administrators stay informed and proactive about network management and security.
