Do my switches need to send both syslog and SNMP traps to LMS 3.1 or should I configure for either syslog or SNMP Traps, but not both?
Thanks

Well "needs to", no
Syslog
RME configuration management works better if it can detect config changes via syslog.
The syslog reports depend on it, so do the "automated actions" since they are based on syslog messages
Traps
Fault management can interpret a few traps but does most of its detecting via snmp get.
LMS will work without it but I think it is worthwhile to configure the devices to send traps and syslog.
