Cisco 6509-Logging

[rpsrekhi3]

I have a Syslog server configured in my network.The Cisco 6509 switch has been configured to send SNMP traps to the syslog server by using the command:

snmp-server host 10.40.70.1 public

Do i need to put in the following command as well :

logging 10.40.70.1

Dose'nt both the commands work the same way.

Thanks!

These are two different things

Traps are send to a trap receiver

snmp-server host 10.40.70.1 public

makes it send traps

Syslog messages are send to the syslog server

logging 10.40.70.1

makes it send syslog

Cheers,

Remember that snmp and syslog are different protocols. SNMP is UDP 161/162 while syslog is UDP 514. As mentioned above they will have different configurations.

You could also try:

snmp-server enable traps syslog

This will send syslog messages as snmp traps
