1. &nbsp;Sends syslogs.<br />

2. &nbsp;Sends SNMP traps as syslogs.

They are not one in the same:

1.  Sends syslogs.

2.  Sends SNMP traps as syslogs.

Why/When would you want to do number 2?

Just as a follow up, would enabling syslogs on the ASA catch everything that snmp would? Basically, would &nbsp;&quot;logging trap notifications&quot; include everything that &quot;snmp-server enable traps syslog&quot; would? Would it make any sense to have both enabled??<br />

I have a Cisco ASA. I noticed you can configure sending syslog messages 2 ways:<br />
<br />
1. logging enable<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; logging trap notifications<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; logging host inside x.x.x.x<br />
<br />
2. snmp-server host inside x.x.x.x community *******<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; snmp-server enable traps syslog<br />
<br />
Are these two methods one in the same? If not, what are the differences?

Syslog logging vs SNMP
