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 command 'logging rate-limit 200 all' limits all syslog messages to 200 messages per second.
The 'logging rate-limit' command limits the number of syslog messages per second to prevent CPU overload. It can be applied globally or per interface. The 'all' option applies the limit to all messages, while 'except' allows certain severities to bypass the limit. The default rate is not unlimited; it depends on the IOS version but typically no rate limit is applied by default. The command does not affect console logging rate by default; it primarily affects logging to buffer and remote servers. The 'show logging' command displays the current rate-limit configuration.
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 command 'logging rate-limit 200 all' limits all syslog messages to 200 messages per second.
Why this is correct
Correct. The 'all' keyword applies the rate limit to every syslog message, regardless of severity.
- ✗
By default, Cisco IOS applies a rate limit of 100 messages per second to all logging destinations.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. By default, no rate limit is applied; the command must be explicitly configured.
- ✓
The 'logging rate-limit' command can be applied on a per-interface basis using interface configuration mode.
Why this is correct
Correct. The command is available in interface configuration mode to limit syslog messages generated by that interface.
- ✗
The 'logging rate-limit' command only affects messages sent to the console port.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The rate limit applies to all logging destinations (buffer, remote, console) unless specifically overridden.
- ✗
The 'show logging rate-limit' command displays the current rate-limit configuration.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The correct command is 'show logging' which includes rate-limit information; there is no 'show logging rate-limit' command.
