Configuring Event Forwarding
Event forwarding enables events to be posted to devices further up the
network hierarchy. This is useful, because it minimizes the need to
configure multiple trap recipients on the device level. Instead, traps from
multiple devices can be forwarded to a single network device from
which the traps can be sent to multiple recipients. In addition, you can
forward all events or only specific events.
The following topics are described in this section:
