Full set: 168 questions
Answer options
A: console
B: file
C: syslog Correct answer
D: buffer
Correct Answer:
C. syslog
Explanation

The question asks for the correct destination to meet the requirement of sending debug messages to a central SIEM server. A SIEM server ingests logs via protocols like syslog. The command logging 10.5.6.12 configures the switch to send log messages to a syslog server. Although the debug radius all command, by default, sends output to the console, the correct destination type to fulfill the stated goal is syslog. The question implies determining the appropriate destination for the overall task, not just the default output of a single command.

Why Incorrect

A. The console is the default destination for the debug command, but it does not fulfill the requirement of sending messages to a central SIEM server.
B. Sending debug output to a local file on the switch does not transmit it to the central SIEM server as required by the task.
D. The buffer is a temporary storage location for logs on the switch itself, not a destination for sending messages to an external server.
