Question 1

If you configure syslog messages without specifying the logging trap level, which log messages will the router send?

A. error conditions only
B. warning and error conditions only
C. normal but significant conditions only
D. all levels except debugging
E. informational messages only

 

Answer: D

Explanation

Syslog levels are listed below

Level Keyword Description
0 emergencies System is unusable
1 alerts Immediate action is needed
2 critical Critical conditions exist
3 errors Error conditions exist
4 warnings Warning conditions exist
5 notification Normal, but significant, conditions exist
6 informational Informational messages
7 debugging Debugging messages

The highest level is level 0 (emergencies). The lowest level is level 7. By default, the router will send informational messages (level 6). That means it will send all the syslog messages from level 0 to 6.

    Default level is 7 and not 6. The question doesn’t have the right answer.

    I just had a look at Cisco website, and it seems that 2960 devices still have level 6 as the default for trap messages, and level 7 for console, monitor and logging to a file on the flash.

    Router(config)# logging trap level

    Specifies the kind of messages, by severity level, to be sent to the syslog server. The default is informational and lower. The possible values for level are as follows:

    Emergency: 0
    Alert: 1
    Critical: 2
    Error: 3
    Warning: 4
    Notice: 5
    Informational: 6
    Debug: 7

    Be default, syslog servers receive informational messages and lower.
