Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer is enabling logging to a local buffer, to the terminal and to a syslog server for all debugging level logs filtered by facility code 7. Which command is needed

The correct answer is D. logging discriminator Disc1 severity includes 7 facility includes fac7. Explanation Option D is correct because a logging discriminator must define both the severity level filter (severity includes 7) and the facility code filter (facility includes fac7) to meet the requirement of filtering logs by both debugging level (severity 7) and facility code

Explanation

Explanation

Option D is correct because a logging discriminator must define both the severity level filter (severity includes 7) and the facility code filter (facility includes fac7) to meet the requirement of filtering logs by both debugging level (severity 7) and facility code 7 - the discriminator is what ties these two filtering criteria together before being applied to a logging destination.

Option A is wrong because logging buffered debugging only enables buffered logging at the debugging level without creating or referencing a discriminator, meaning no facility-code filtering would be applied. Option B is wrong because it only defines a severity filter in the discriminator but omits the required facility code filter, making it an incomplete discriminator definition. Option C is wrong because while it correctly applies a discriminator to buffered logging, it references a discriminator (Disc1) that hasn't been properly defined yet - the discriminator command itself must come first and must include both the severity and facility parameters.

Memory Tip: Think of logging discriminator as building a complete filter recipe - you need all the ingredients (severity AND facility) before you can apply it (logging buffered discriminator). If the recipe is incomplete, the filter won't work as intended.
