300-410 Practice Question: Which TWO symptoms indicate that syslog messages…
Which TWO symptoms indicate that syslog messages are not being sent to the remote syslog server? (Choose TWO.)
Answer choices
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
✓
The syslog server receives messages from other devices but not from this router.
If syslog messages are not reaching the server, the 'show logging' output will not show the server address as active, and the server will not receive any messages. The 'show logging' command may still show messages in the local buffer. The 'show log' command does not exist. Debug output on the router does not confirm remote delivery.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The 'show logging' command shows messages in the local buffer.
Why it's wrong here
Local buffer messages do not indicate whether they were sent to the remote server.
- ✓
The syslog server receives messages from other devices but not from this router.
Why this is correct
This indicates a specific issue with this router's syslog configuration or connectivity.
- ✗
The 'show log' command returns no output.
Why it's wrong here
'show log' is not a valid Cisco IOS command; 'show logging' is used.
- ✓
The 'show logging' output does not list the syslog server IP address under 'Logging to'.
Why this is correct
If the server is not listed, messages are not being sent to it.
- ✗
Debug output appears on the console but not on the syslog server.
Why it's wrong here
Debug messages may be sent only to the console if logging is not configured for the server; this alone does not confirm failure of other syslog messages.
