A network engineer wants to configure a Cisco router to log only the most severe syslog messages, specifically those indicating that the system is unusable or requires immediate action. Which syslog severity levels should be included in the logging configuration?
Syslog messages are categorized into severity levels ranging from 0 to 7, with 0 being the highest severity. Level 0 (Emergencies) indicates that the system is unusable, and level 1 (Alerts) requires immediate action. By configuring the router to include levels 0 and 1, the engineer ensures that only the most critical messages are logged. Levels 2 (Critical) and 3 (Errors) represent less severe conditions, while levels 4 (Warnings), 5 (Notifications), 6 (Informational), and 7 (Debugging) correspond to increasingly lower severities.
