Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 143

When using TLS for syslog, which configuration allows for secure and reliable transportation of messages to its default port?

Answer options

• A. logging host 10.2.3.4 vrf mgmt transport tcp port 514
• B. logging host 10.2.3.4 vrf mgmt transport udp port 514
• C. logging host 10.2.3.4 vrf mgmt transport tcp port 6514
• D. logging host 10.2.3.4 vrf mgmt transport udp port 6514

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because TCP port 6514 is specifically designated for syslog over TLS, ensuring secure communication. Options A and B use port 514, which is not secure, while options B and D utilize UDP, which lacks the reliability that TCP provides for message transport.
