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 console receives messages of severity 0 through 6.
Logging levels: emergencies (0), alerts (1), critical (2), errors (3), warnings (4), notifications (5), informational (6), debugging (7). The trap level 'errors' means only messages severity 0-3 are sent to syslog servers. Console 'informational' means 0-6. Monitor 'debugging' means 0-7. Buffer defaults to debugging if not specified, but here it is set to 4096 bytes without a level, so it defaults to debugging.

The console receives messages of severity 0 through 6.
Why this is correct

easy- A.Only messages of severity 6 are sent to the syslog server.
- ✓ B.Messages of severity 0 through 6 are sent to the syslog server.
- C.Messages of severity 6 through 7 are sent to the syslog server.
- D.The number 6 is invalid; only named levels are accepted.
Why B: The 'logging trap' command accepts either a severity level name or number. Level 6 corresponds to 'informational'. This means messages with severity 0-6 are sent to the syslog server.
