Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
show logging
The 'show logging' command displays the logging configuration, buffer contents, and statistics. The 'debug logging' command is not a verification command; it enables debugging of logging itself. The 'terminal monitor' command allows a user to see syslog messages on their terminal session. The 'show running-config | include logging' filters the running configuration for logging-related lines. The 'show log' command is not valid in Cisco IOS; the correct command is 'show logging'.
