What is the effect of this configuration?
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
✓
Syslog messages of severity 0 through 7 are sent to the server 192.168.1.100.
This configuration sets up logging with different severity levels for different destinations. The 'logging trap debugging' sends all messages (severity 0-7) to the syslog server at 192.168.1.100, while console gets only warnings (severity 4) and monitor gets notifications (severity 5). The buffer is set to 16384 bytes.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Syslog messages of severity 0 through 7 are sent to the server 192.168.1.100.
Why this is correct
The 'logging trap debugging' command sets the syslog trap level to debugging, which includes all severities (0-7).
- ✗
Only syslog messages of severity 0 through 4 are sent to the server 192.168.1.100.
Why it's wrong here
The trap level is 'debugging', not 'warnings'. The console level is set to warnings, but that does not affect the syslog server.
- ✗
The syslog server receives messages with the IP address of the outgoing interface as the source.
Why it's wrong here
The 'logging source-interface Loopback0' overrides the source IP to be the Loopback0 address, not the outgoing interface.
- ✗
The logging buffer stores up to 16384 syslog messages.
Why it's wrong here
The buffer size is 16384 bytes, not messages. The number of messages depends on their size.

Variation 1. Given the configuration: logging buffered 8192 warnings logging console alerts logging monitor critical Which of the following is true?
easy- ✓ A.The logging buffer stores messages of severity 0 through 4.
- B.The console displays messages of severity 0 through 3.
- C.The monitor receives messages of severity 0 through 4.
- D.The buffer can store up to 8192 syslog messages.
Why A: The buffer is set to 8192 bytes with level warnings (0-4). Console is alerts (0-2). Monitor is critical (0-3). Note that the buffer size is in bytes, not messages.
