simplicity....but that comes at a high price. Typcially on network gear the two systems are still used in parallel. syslog is presently used for vendor/platform specific debug and notification messages. SNMP is used for platform and vendor independent standard notifications (v1/v2 traps, informs) acked and non-acked forms which can be passed through VACM (involved filtering mechanism) to send different notifications to different receivers as well as send such notifications with/without authentication and/or encryption. Also works through one or more snmp proxies. Mike MacFaden
