A. logging trap 5: This sets the logging severity level to "notifications." Syslog messages at this level include system notifications that are not errors but are important for system administrators to be aware of, such as interface status changes.

B. logging trap 2: This sets the logging severity level to "critical." Syslog messages at this level include critical system events that require immediate attention, such as system crashes or severe errors.

C. logging trap 3: This sets the logging severity level to "errors." Syslog messages at this level include error messages that indicate problems within the system, such as configuration errors or service failures.

D. logging trap 4: This sets the logging severity level to "warnings." Syslog messages at this level include warning messages that indicate potential issues or conditions that may lead to problems if not addressed, such as high CPU usage or interface errors.

Option 'd' is correct.
Wow, I screwed that one up completely :-)
In this question, the logging trap 4 command sets the logging severity level to warning (level 4). This means that log messages with severity levels 0 to 4 will be sent to the syslog server. You can adjust the severity level according to your requirements.

Here's a brief overview of syslog severity levels:

Emergency (0):     System is unusable.
Alert (1):         Action must be taken immediately.
Critical (2):         Critical conditions.
Error (3):         Error conditions.
Warning (4):         Warning conditions.
Notice (5):         Normal but significant conditions.
Informational (6):     Informational messages.
Debugging (7):     Debugging messages.

Therefore, option ‘d’ is correct.

The answer is option 'd'.
The confusion students have with this question is that the command identifies the logging level *and below* that are sent to the syslog server.  By issuing the command: logging trap 3, it identifies error (3), warning (4), notification (5), informational (6), and debugging (7).  No other command will include both error (3) and warning(4).

Correct

D is correct

From your explanation, we know the answer is D, not C. If we configure logging trap 3, we can't capture a warning message.
