Answer options

• A. logging discriminator DOT1X facility drops DOT1X logging host 10.15.20.33 discriminator DOT1X
• B. logging discriminator DOT1X msg-body drops DOTX logging host 10.15.20.33 discriminator DOTX
• C. logging discriminator DOT1X mnemonics includes DOTX logging host 10.15.20.33 discriminator DOT1X
• D. logging discriminator DOT1X mnemonics includes DOT1X logging host 10.15.20.33 discriminator DOTX

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, uses the logging discriminator to filter out messages based on the facility, specifically dropping DOT1X messages. Options B, C, and D either misconfigure the discriminator or do not drop the intended DOT1X messages, making them ineffective for this purpose.
