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 host 192.168.1.100' configures the device to send syslog messages to the server at that IP address.
The logging host command specifies the syslog server IP. The logging trap level sets the severity for messages sent to the syslog server; default is level 6 (informational). The logging source-interface sets the source IP of syslog packets. The logging buffered command stores messages in RAM. The logging console command affects messages sent to the console port, not to the syslog server.
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 host 192.168.1.100' configures the device to send syslog messages to the server at that IP address.
Why this is correct
Correct because 'logging host' specifies the destination syslog server IP address.
- ✓
The command 'logging trap 4' configures the device to send syslog messages with severity 4 (warnings) and higher (0-4) to the syslog server.
Why this is correct
Correct because the trap level includes the specified severity and all higher (lower number) severities; level 4 includes levels 0-4.
- ✓
The command 'logging source-interface Loopback0' ensures that syslog messages use the Loopback0 IP address as the source.
Why this is correct
Correct because 'logging source-interface' sets the source IP for syslog packets, which is useful for reachability and filtering.
- ✗
The default logging trap level on Cisco IOS is level 7 (debugging).
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because the default logging trap level is level 6 (informational), not level 7.
- ✗
The command 'logging console 3' limits syslog messages displayed on the console to severity 3 (errors) and lower (0-3).
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because 'logging console' affects console output, not the syslog server; also, it includes the specified level and higher (lower number) severities, so level 3 includes levels 0-3.
