JNCIS-ENT: Juniper Networks Certified Specialist – Enterprise Routing and Switching — Question 7

Which security log message format reduces the consumption of CPU and storage?

Answer options

• A. WELF
• B. BSD syslog
• C. binary
• D. structured syslog

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The binary log message format is designed to be more efficient in terms of storage and CPU usage, as it uses a compact representation of the data. In contrast, formats like BSD syslog and structured syslog are more verbose and can lead to higher resource consumption, while WELF is not specifically optimized for these requirements.
