Summary

In this chapter, you learned what configuring events is all about. Then, we discussed why you would want to configure events and what types of triggers are used to generate events. Then, we discussed how to determine what events you want to have configured on your network. Next, we talked about what events your devices may already have configured. Finally, we discussed how to configure the events you need in addition to the events built-in to your devices.

Next, we are going to have to process all these events and determine what to do with them. Chapter 6, "Event and Fault Management," covers this topic in detail.
