200-301 Question #454: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

An engineering team asks an implementer to configure syslog for warning conditions and error conditions. Which command does the implementer configure to achieve the desired result?

Options

• Alogging trap 5
• Blogging trap 2
• Clogging trap 4
• Dlogging trap 3

Explanation

To configure a Cisco device to send syslog messages for warning and error conditions, the logging trap 4 command should be used.

Common mistakes.

• A. Logging trap 5 corresponds to 'notice' messages, which would include warnings (level 4) and errors (level 3), but the prompt specifically asks for warning and error conditions, so setting it to 4 is more precise for the requested minimum level.
• B. Logging trap 2 corresponds to 'critical' messages, which would not include 'error' (level 3) or 'warning' (level 4) messages.
• D. Logging trap 3 corresponds to 'error' messages, which would not include 'warning' (level 4) messages.
