300-410 Practice Question: Which THREE configuration steps are required to…

Which THREE configuration steps are required to send syslog messages from a Cisco router to a remote syslog server? (Choose THREE.)

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

✓

Configure the syslog server IP address using the 'logging <ip-address>' command.

To send syslog messages to a remote server, you must enable logging globally, specify the server address, and set the logging trap level (or use default). Setting the source interface is optional but recommended. Configuring NTP is not required for syslog. Enabling SNMP is unrelated.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✓

    Configure the syslog server IP address using the 'logging <ip-address>' command.

    Why this is correct

    This command specifies the destination syslog server.

  • ✗

    Set the logging source interface using 'logging source-interface <interface>'.

    Why it's wrong here

    While recommended for consistency, it is not strictly required for syslog to work.

  • ✓

    Enable logging globally using 'logging on'.

    Why this is correct

    This command enables the logging process; without it, no messages are sent.

  • ✓

    Configure the logging trap severity level using 'logging trap <severity>'.

    Why this is correct

    This sets the severity threshold for messages sent to the syslog server; default is informational (level 6).

  • ✗

    Configure NTP to ensure accurate timestamps in syslog messages.

    Why it's wrong here

    NTP is not required for syslog functionality; timestamps can be set with 'service timestamps'.
