Do you mean syslog? Syslog requires that you configure an IP, but SNMP simply uses the community string and then you poll it from a remote device (like solarwinds etc.). You can lock it down with firewall rules if you want to make it more secure though.
You can set the SNMP server to receive Traps on the Network-wide > Alerts page. This is not a mandatory setting; you only set the server if you wish to receive traps. You can still poll the Cloud or your devices just fine as long as the other SNMP settings are set up correctly under Network-wide > General.

I was wondering what you were talking about and then I found this:

"Contact Meraki Support to have the feature enabled on the desired organization."
Why wouldn't they just enable this by default aaaargg.

Oh... Hah! I forgot that was hidden behind an NFO. We have it enabled on all our Orgs so I always just see it. Nice catch.
