CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 662

What is the purpose of configuring different levels of syslog for different devices on the network?

Answer options

• A. to set the severity of syslog messages from each device
• B. to control the number of syslog messages from different devices that are stored locally
• C. to identify the source from which each syslog message originated
• D. to rate-limit messages for different severity levels from each device

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because configuring different levels of syslog allows you to define the severity of messages that each device sends, helping in appropriate logging management. Options B, C, and D do not specifically address the hierarchical severity aspect of syslog configurations, which is the primary purpose of setting different levels.
