Difficulty: EasySyslog Operations, Severity Levels, and Log Destination Configuration

During network maintenance, an administrator views a Cisco IOS syslog message containing the severity code %SYS-3-CPUHOG. Which severity level description corresponds to numeric severity level 3 in Cisco IOS syslog logging?

  1. ErrorAnswer
  2. B
    Warning
  3. C
    Critical
  4. D
    Emergency

Answer

Error
In Cisco IOS Syslog logging, numeric level 3 maps directly to the Error severity level. The mnemonic 'Every Alert Can Make Severe Problems In Danger' or standard range (0-Emergency, 1-Alert, 2-Critical, 3-Error, 4-Warning, 5-Notice, 6-Informational, 7-Debugging) defines these values.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the standard Cisco IOS Syslog severity level hierarchy
Levels range from 0 (Emergency) to 7 (Debugging).
Cisco IOS assigns a standard numeric severity level (0 to 7) to every syslog message.
2
Map numeric value 3 to its severity name
Level 0 = Emergency, Level 1 = Alert, Level 2 = Critical, Level 3 = Error, Level 4 = Warning, Level 5 = Notice, Level 6 = Informational, Level 7 = Debugging.
Level 3 specifically indicates an error condition that impacts device operation.
