300-410 Practice Question: Which TWO commands can be used to verify the…
Which TWO commands can be used to verify the configured logging destinations on a Cisco IOS-XE device? (Choose TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between 'show logging' and 'show log' to catch candidates who assume a generic 'log' command exists, or confuses 'show debug' with logging destination verification.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
show logging
The 'show logging' command displays the current state of logging, including configured logging destinations such as console, monitor, buffer, and syslog server addresses. The 'show running-config | include logging' command filters the running configuration to show only lines containing 'logging', which explicitly lists all logging destination configurations, including server IPs and logging levels. Both commands are valid for verifying configured logging destinations on Cisco IOS-XE devices.
