CCNA Routing and Switching (legacy) — Question 27

Which two statements about syslog logging are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The size of the log is dependent on the resources of the device.
• B. Messages can be erased when the device reboots.
• C. Messages are stored external to the device.
• D. Messages are stored in the internal memory of the device.
• E. Syslog logging is disabled by default.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers are C and E because syslog messages are typically stored externally, allowing for better management and retention, and syslog logging is indeed disabled by default on many devices to prevent unnecessary data logging. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they misrepresent how syslog operates; logs can be configured regarding size and retention, and they are not inherently deleted on reboot if configured to persist.
