Question
Refer to the exhibit. The administrator must extend the configuration of the switch to perform remote logging using syslog according to these requirements:
- syslog server: 203.0.113.11 reachable through Gi0/0
- initial message severity: notifications
- message transport: reliable
Which two commands must be added to the configuration to accomplish this goal? (Choose two.)

Why each option
To configure remote logging to a syslog server with reliable transport and a specific initial message severity, both the logging host and the trap level must be set.
The `logging monitor notifications` command controls the severity level of syslog messages displayed on the console (terminal monitor), not those sent to a remote syslog server.
The `logging host` command specifies the IP address of the syslog server, and adding `transport tcp` ensures reliable message delivery via TCP as required by the administrator.
The `logging source-Interface GigabitEthernet0/0 vrf Mgmt-vrf` command defines the source interface for syslog messages, but it is not explicitly required to fulfill the specified logging host, transport, or severity requirements.
The `logging trap notifications` command sets the minimum severity level for messages sent to the configured syslog server to 'notifications', fulfilling the requirement.
The `logging host 203.0.113.11 vrf Mgmt-vrf` command specifies the syslog host, but without the `transport tcp` keyword, it would default to unreliable UDP transport, failing the 'reliable' requirement.
