300-410 Practice Question: A router is configured with 'logging host…
A router is configured with 'logging host 10.1.1.100' and 'logging trap debugging'. The engineer notices that the router is sending a large number of debug messages to the syslog server, causing high CPU usage. The engineer wants to stop sending debug messages to the remote server but keep them in the local buffer. What is the best command to achieve this?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure 'logging host 10.1.1.100 trap notifications' to set the remote threshold to severity 5.
To stop sending debug messages to the remote server without affecting local logging, the engineer should change the remote logging severity to a higher level (e.g., 'logging host 10.1.1.100 trap notifications' to set severity 5). This will exclude debug (severity 7) messages from being sent to that specific host. The local buffer can remain at debugging level.
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 'no logging trap debugging' globally.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because this would change the global trap level, affecting all logging destinations including local buffer if not overridden.
- ✓
Configure 'logging host 10.1.1.100 trap notifications' to set the remote threshold to severity 5.
Why this is correct
Correct because this command sets the severity level for that specific host only, allowing local logging to remain at debugging.
- ✗
Use 'undebug all' to stop all debug output.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because this stops debug generation entirely, which may not be desired for local troubleshooting.
- ✗
Set 'logging buffered 4096 notifications' to limit local buffer to severity 5.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because this would reduce local logging detail, which the engineer wants to preserve.
