Explanation

WLC Syslog Message Levels Explained

By default, a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) sends syslog level errors and messages of lesser severity (i.e., Critical, Alert, and Emergency - severity levels 0–3) to the syslog server, making Option A correct. In syslog terminology, "less severity" means a lower severity number, which actually represents more critical conditions than errors (severity 3).

Why the distractors are wrong:

• Option B is too narrow - it only includes error-level messages and excludes the more critical levels (Emergency, Alert, Critical) that are also sent.
• Option C is incorrect because the WLC does not send all syslog levels by default; lower-priority messages like Warnings, Notices, Info, and Debug are excluded.
• Option D uses misleading language - "greater severity" could be misread as higher-numbered (less critical) levels, which is the opposite of what the WLC sends.

Memory Tip: Think of syslog severity as a golf score - the lower the number, the worse (more critical) the situation. The WLC sends errors (level 3) and anything worse (levels 0–2), meaning fewer messages but the most important ones.
