Syslog was configured with a level 3 trap. Which 3 types of logs would be generated (choose three)

The correct answer is A. Emergencies B. Alerts C. Critical. Syslog severity levels range from 0 (most severe) to 7 (least severe): 0=Emergency, 1=Alert, 2=Critical, 3=Error, 4=Warning, 5=Notice, 6=Informational, 7=Debug. When a trap level is set to 3, the intent of this question is that messages at severity levels 0, 1, and 2 (i.e…

Explanation

Syslog severity levels range from 0 (most severe) to 7 (least severe): 0=Emergency, 1=Alert, 2=Critical, 3=Error, 4=Warning, 5=Notice, 6=Informational, 7=Debug. When a trap level is set to 3, the intent of this question is that messages at severity levels 0, 1, and 2 (i.e., more severe than level 3) are what get highlighted as generated: (A) Emergencies (level 0), (B) Alerts (level 1), and (C) Critical (level 2). Note: In actual Cisco IOS behavior, 'logging trap 3' sends messages at severity 0 through 3 inclusive, which would also include Errors (D). This exam question is framed to test knowledge of which severities are strictly above level 3, focusing on the three choices A, B, and C. Warnings (E) at level 4 are less severe than level 3 and would not be captured.
