A network administrator wants to configure syslog on a Cisco router to send critical condition messages and more severe messages to the syslog server, reducing unnecessary logging traffic. Which syslog severity level should they set to achieve this?
Level 2 - Critical
Level 3 - Error
Level 4 - Warning
Level 5 - Notification
Setting the syslog severity level to Level 2 - Critical ensures that the router sends messages with severity levels of 0 (Emergency), 1 (Alert), and 2 (Critical) to the syslog server. In syslog, lower numerical severity levels correspond to more critical messages. By configuring the router to Level 2, only critical and more severe messages are sent, which reduces unnecessary logging traffic by excluding less severe messages (Levels 3 to 7).
Choosing a higher numerical level, such as Level 3 - Error, would include additional, less critical messages, expanding the log output beyond the administrator's requirement. Therefore, Level 2 precisely meets the need to send only critical and more severe messages.
