Our routers can generate quite a few traps (greater than 50 last time I
checked) depending on what you have configured. However, as Omer pointed
out, our traps are a very small subset of the syslog messages that may be
generated for a typical event. Consider, though, that the traps generally
represent an absolute event (interface down, DLCI status change, etc.) and
can be enumerated and parsed very easily, whereas syslog mesages are
console messages with syntax that can vary. Also, a trap may contain
additional information concerning the event which the syslog message may
not.
We have defined our traps in a trapd.conf format which can be integrated
with trapd.conf at http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/contrib/trapd.41x
Hope this helps.
