Syslog uses UDP and is inherently unreliable, thus it would not meet the retransmissions requirement. As for your question on snmp vs. traps it seems the question is always fairly clear. In this particular instance you would lean toward SNMP since it specifies traps for redundant power supply failures. This can be specifically added for SNMP, but syslog does not allow to turn on specific alerts.

 

My take, at least.

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] SNMP Question

 

Hi Sir

In lab 38, the question states, configure router 6 to send notification messages to host ..... whenever its redundant power supply fails. R6 will retransmit the message ih the host does not get it.

When to use logging and when to use the snmp-server?

I know all about the informs and traps difference? and why here we have to use informs because of the retransmission. My question is what if the second part is missing "R6 will retransmit the message if the host does not get it"? is it possible to use the logging traps command.

My question may also be "When to consider that we aer sending to Syslog Server or snmp server?" Or i will always get a word that will guide to the required, exactly as the retransmission here?

Thanks/regards
