Explanation

Three true statements about Syslog: (C) A Syslog server offloads log storage to an external host, freeing the router from consuming its own limited disk/flash/RAM for log retention - this is a key operational benefit. (D) Cisco IOS generates a far greater variety of syslog messages than SNMP trap types, making syslog richer for detailed event logging and troubleshooting. (F) A centralized Syslog server aggregates logs from multiple devices into one location, simplifying correlation, alerting, and auditing. Choice A is false - syslog is passive logging and has no effect on network forwarding performance. Choice B is false - syslog is not an active notification system; SNMP traps and email alerts serve that role. Choice E is false - enabling syslog does not automatically configure NTP; NTP must be set up independently for accurate timestamps.
