CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 794

A technician performed a manual reconfiguration of a firewall, and network connectivity was reestablished. Some connection events that were previously sent to a syslog server are no longer being generated by the firewall. Which of the following should the technician perform to fix the issue?

Answer options

• A. Adjust the proper logging level on the new firewall.
• B. Tune the filter for logging the severity level on the syslog server.
• C. Activate NetFlow traffic between the syslog server and the firewall.
• D. Restart the SNMP service running on the syslog server.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The technician should adjust the proper logging level on the new firewall to ensure that the relevant connection events are captured and sent to the syslog server. The other options, such as tuning the syslog server's filter or restarting the SNMP service, do not directly address the logging settings on the firewall itself, which is where the connection events are initially generated.
