What command is used to configure logging to a Syslog server in Cisco IOS?

  1. (config)#logging host [IP address]

  2. (config)#syslog server [IP address]

  3. (config)#set logging [IP address]

  4. (config)#enable syslog [IP address]

The correct answer is: (config)#logging host [IP address]

The command used to configure logging to a Syslog server in Cisco IOS is indeed "(config)#logging host [IP address]". This command establishes a connection between the Cisco device and the specified Syslog server by directing the logging information generated by the device to the IP address of the Syslog server. This is crucial for network administration and monitoring, as it allows for centralized logging and easier management of logs, generating alerts, and troubleshooting across multiple devices. When using this command, the device will send various log messages, including system events and error alerts, to the specified Syslog server. This enables network administrators to maintain a comprehensive log of events occurring on the network, aiding in identifying issues and understanding network behavior. The other options do not accurately reflect the command syntax or purpose for configuring Syslog logging within Cisco IOS. Understanding how to set up logging effectively is essential for robust network management and security practices.
