Understanding Syslog on Junos Devices

D

Syslog is a standard method for logging system messages and events, including errors, warnings, and informational messages, on Junos devices. It is an important tool for monitoring and troubleshooting network issues.

The correct answer to this question is A. No logging is enabled by default.

Explanation: When a Junos device is first powered on, logging is not enabled by default. Administrators must configure the device to log messages to a destination, such as a file, remote syslog server, or console.

Answer B, "By default, the information is stored in a file named events," is incorrect. Junos devices do not store log messages in a file named "events" by default. Instead, administrators must configure the device to log messages to a file or other destination.

Answer C, "Only the message severity level must be configured," is incorrect. While configuring the severity level is important, it is not the only configuration that must be done. Administrators must also specify where the log messages should be sent, such as to a file, remote syslog server, or console.

Answer D, "You can configure the router to send log messages to the console," is partially correct. It is possible to configure a Junos device to send log messages to the console, but it is not the only destination available. In addition, this configuration must be explicitly done by an administrator and is not enabled by default.
